Can the abuser have a gun?
Once you get an order of protection, there may be laws that prohibit the respondent from having a gun in his/her possession. There are a few places where you can find this information:
- First, read the questions on this page to see if judges in the CNMI have to power to remove guns as part of a temporary or final order;
- Second, you can read our Federal Gun Laws section to understand the federal laws that apply to all states and territories.
- Third, you can read more about keeping an abuser from accessing guns from the National Resource Center for Domestic Violence and Firearms.
