# California AB 2917 (20232024) — Firearms: restraining orders.
|
||
|
||
Existing law authorizes a court to issue a gun violence restraining order to prohibit a person from purchasing or possessing a firearm or ammunition for a period of one to 5 years, subject to renewal for additional one- to 5-year periods, if the subject of the petition poses a significant danger of self-harm or harm to another in the near future by having a firearm and the order is necessary to prevent personal injury to the subject of the petition or another. Existing law requires the court, in determining whether grounds for a gun violence restraining order exist, to consider evidence of, among other things, a recent threat of violence or act of violence by the subject directed toward another and a past history of those threats or acts within the last 12 months. Existing law also authorizes a court to consider the unlawful and reckless use, display, or brandishing of a firearm by the subject of the petition.
