I did not find a thread on this topic.
Without knowing the exact details of what is contained in this bill it strikes me as tremendous potential for abuse along with being illegal.
"A bill allowing family members to ask a judge to order firearms removed from people likely to commit gun violence was sent to California Governor Jerry Brown on Friday for signing into law.
The bill... creates a so-called gun violence restraining order in the court system. Under it, immediate family members and law enforcement agencies could petition a judge to order guns temporarily removed from certain individuals.
The restraining order would last 21 days, and could extend it up to a year, after a notice and a hearing."
Essentially it appears that based a mere accusation a gun owner will have all of his firearms taken from him forcing him to defend his right to own firearms without a criminal conviction, domestic violence charge or adjudication of being mentally ill.
Woe be wary of spiteful wife or family members.
While I am not a California resident there is always the chance other states will pass similar laws. Anyone have any more information about this law?
