That's it...I'm getting a restraining order against you!
lol
Yes, and if I'm not mistaken if you have a domestic violence restraining order against you, you automatically become inelligable to own guns and to avoid being an insta-felon must sell or otherwise get rid of them.
Pretty cool, eh. (/sarcasm)
A few years ago I purchased a long gun for a Christmas gift.
One of the questions was are you currently the subject of a Restraining Order? I don't remember if it specified Domestic Violence or not.
Missouri does have some laws on the books passed in the 1990's when such legislation was in vogue. One example was that past convictions for domestic violence could be used as evidence in a later case.
I do know that in divorce cases, the attorney for the wife will have a restraining order issued as a routine matter. No history or proof of any type of violence was needed to get it issued.
The clerk that sold me the gun said it had stopped a friend of his from deer hunting, during the time of a divorce.
Perhaps David Letterman can not buy a gun or carry a gun for hunting or other purposes due to the fact this restraining order has been issued.
I think that it is not just a Missouri thing but also happens in other states as well.
This may not be very funny to Letterman after all.
Experts, what say you ?
