Firearms Relinquishment in Cases Involving Intimate Partner Violence: How to Structure Effective Protocols For Your Community
October 4, 2024
This resource details the importance of having a firearm relinquishment protocol in order to ensure that people who become prohibited from accessing firearms related to their perpetration of intimate partner violence (because they are subject to a domestic violence protection order or they are convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence) and provides steps for developing a coordinated community response and developing an effective protocol that can be institutionalized. Our resource “State Statutes on Firearm Relinquishment in Cases Involving Intimate Partner
Violence” is a complement to this resource and provides the law in states that specifically address firearm relinquishment.
