This isn’t good. Why should the father have to move the guns out of the home?
If the father can prove his guns are legally and safely stored in the house and the juvenile doesn’t have access to them he should be fine. Granted in this case he isn’t cooperating because he is supposed to move them out of the home.
Some people have very large collections of guns and moving them can damage them. Also, if the only place the father could transfer the guns to a friend or relative happens to be out of state it could be a huge process with lots of red tape. Wouldn’t want to break the law attempting to obey the law.
What if the person with guns is a renter and not related to the red flag individual, would they have to move their guns out too even if ther weapons were secured and the red flag individual did not have access to them?
From the article:
“We would file the ERPO against the juvenile because the father has access to firearms in the home, and the father is not being cooperative with law enforcement to confirm that the firearms are out of the home,” Wyatt said.

‘Red flag’ gun law should include minors, Washington state prosecutors say
November 25th, 2018
Prosecutors in Washington are demanding that minors be covered by the state's “red flag” law, which allows for guns to be seized with a court order, according to a report.
