If the abuser's gun(s) is taken away, what will happen to it?
Delaware state law says that if a judge orders a firearm removed as part of an order of protection from abuse, the firearm must be turned in to the sheriff, constable or to a police officer.1 The judge also has the power to issue an order directing any law-enforcement agency to search for and seize (take) the abuser’s firearms if certain circumstances are met.2 See I have an order of protection from abuse against the abuser. Can s/he keep a gun or buy a new gun? for more information.
