I know this has been discussed before but can someone please explain this to me in plain English? I have read some conflicting things about this.
Does a person have to be convicted of domestic violence to lose their guns, or is just an arrest for domestic violence enough? Also does a restraining order automatically prevent a person from being able to own guns?
I'm asking this because my roommate and her friend both threatened to call the police on me after we had an argument a few days ago. I have never been arrested for anything in my life, but this got me wondering what would happen. It was just yelling, nothing physical, but it would be my word against theirs if she lied about it.
BTW, I'm now actively looking for another place to live.
