Can the respondent get his/her gun back?

The respondent can get his/her gun back once the extreme risk protection order is no longer in effect. The gun will be returned within ten days of asking for it if:

  • the person shows proof from the court that the extreme risk protective order ended or expired and was not renewed; and
  • the law enforcement agency checks the national criminal records and finds no other reason the person cannot legally have a gun under state or federal law.

You can see our Rhode Island State Gun Laws and Federal Gun Laws pages to learn about other reasons someone may not be allowed to have a gun.
