State Statutes on Firearm Relinquishment in Cases Involving Intimate Partner Violence
“This chart includes information about state laws that speak to expressly authorized or
mandated firearm relinquishment orders in civil protection order and criminal cases involving intimate partner violence. The information is current as of September 2024, may not be all-inclusive, and is intended only for educational and research purposes. State statutes are constantly changing. Additionally, the absence of statutory provisions related to relinquishment does not mean state and local authorities lack the authority to implement relinquishment processes.”
