Understood.
I should not have used the terms "DV crime," or "committed DV."
I was never arrested or charged with any crime, just got hammered with a PPO (previously mis-stated PRO) because she "was afraid of me."
And, while on the subject, gun owners should know that you cannot possess firearms with a Protective Order against you. If you get a Permanent Protective Order against you, it means for life. The protected party can remove it at will, but you must wait 4 years before being allowed to have another hearing. If you lose that hearing, 4 more years. It ain't no joke, and divorce attorney's seem to push for it.
Again, be careful who you trust. It does not take much to get yourself in a bind for a long time. If you do find yourself facing a possible Protective Order, get the best damn attorney you can afford.
