Proposed CO Law: People Charged With Domestic Violence Lose Guns
A newly proposed Colorado law has the potential to allow authorities to seize firearms from anyone charged with a domestic violence crime.
The proposed bill, if passed into law, would make it so that anyone charged with a domestic violence crime and becomes subject to a civil protection order would have a week to report what type and how many firearms are in his/her possession and where the weapons are located. After providing the statement, a judge can order that all guns be relinquished immediately or within 24 hours of his or her release from jail.
