Normally, the effects are not onerous, staying 500 feet away from, and having no contact with, someone you have no desire to interact with, is something the accused would happily do. When you throw the confiscation of personal property in the mix, and all that entails, now there is a significant burden imposed on the accused, again, all occurring before the accused has any chance to defend themselves.
Hey Mr Gun Law Expert. It is already against the law to possess a firearm while being subject to an order of protection.
