SB 2339 makes it unlawful for individuals subject to certain domestic restraining orders (with specific findings of risk) or convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence to possess firearms or ammunition. The bill requires courts to explicitly find that firearm retention poses a safety risk to the petitioner, children, or vulnerable persons before ordering removal.

Violations carry penalties of up to $10,000 fines or 2-10 years in prison.
