    That's not at all what I meant. If you file a restraining order against someone, it affects you as well.

    O I C

    I haven't filed one or had one filed on me so please forgive my ignorance.

    Does the filer have constraints to abide by as well?

    Yeah, if you file a restraining order against someone, you can't have guns either. Or so I thought.

    Really? You think people on the right would use this law to harass people on the left? I find that preposterous but maybe our definitions of conservative are different, unless you're talking about nazis which alot of people think are right-wing but nazis are actually left-wing.

    While it is true that the modern day liberal is a mental defective I'd be hard-pressed to prove that in a court of law but there I go again with due process and such.

    No, I think people on the right would use this law to harass anyone that they didn't like; just the same as anyone else would. I've seen it before first hand. The idea that a voting record or a set of beliefs makes a person more or less moral is batshit crazy and I can't believe that any adults that have experienced the world would believe that for one second.

    That makes no sense.

    It doesn't make sense. Like roberth, I've never filed a restraining order either (a large reason being what I posted about), so I don't know 100%. I remember a lot of talk about it on here several years ago and that is where I've gotten that impression.

    The form for it explains clearly what a TRO does.

    Now, of course, there is an onus on the Petitioner to not violate the order themselves by seeking to contact or otherwise cause a violation on the part of the Respondent, but the Petitioner is not otherwise impacted according to the form itself:

    https://www.courts.state.co.us/Forms...on%20Order.pdf

    If I'm wrong, I'd like someone to point to the law as such in black and white. Otherwise, it seems ridiculous even for this very ridiculous state.

    Yeah but I doubt that a conservative would have enough of a problem with me to abuse it against me. I imagine a decent percent of liberals would want to disarm me as soon as they found out I'm an NRA/GOA/SAF member.

    Besides, most liberals don't own guns, or if they do, don't see them as important. So what would be the point of slapping them with an ex parte gun grab order?
