    Default restraining order question

    Has anyone gotten a permanent restraining order overturned? 13 years ago my new wife's ex husband was trying to intimidate her into doing what he wanted despite the court orders. Finally I had had enough when he grabbed her and defended her. He previosly (while seperated) sent her on an ambulance ride because of abuse. The judge in the case ordered a restraining order to be filled out, one for me and one for him. The judge's reasoning was that this would keep him from running his mouth, which it did. Now I find myself unable to obtain a CCW permit because of my this. Anyone know how I can go about rectifying this situation? Suggestions?? Would hiring an attorney be the best thing? Know of a reasonable one? This happened in Adams County if it matters.

    Thanks guys, Mike

    Was it a TRO or a RO? One being Temp stating a certain amount of time, the other being for life.

    It's quite the process to get a RO issued, but a TRO can be done pretty easily.

    Contact the court, find out, go from there. Either way get an atty would be my suggestion. Chances are you will need to file something to absolve it, or speak to the judge to reverse or a new judge to vacate previous judges order.

    If you are subject currently to the RO I would tread very very carefully around firearms depending on the order itself.

    It is a permanent restraining order. The first time I tried to buy a firearm afterwards there was a delay. I did get approved and have not had any issues since. Since it does not involve a child or intimate partner it does not prevent me from owning or posessing a firearm just from getting my CCW.

    I am thinking an attorney would be my best bet also. Anyone know of a good inexpensive lawyer?? Lol ok after I wrote that I had to laugh, how about reasonably priced??

    My friend, Brian Wilson, is a good, pro-gun attorney. He's in Bailey but I'm not sure it really matters. He's in the metro-area with court/clients all the time. Reasonable fees...but he's still an attorney!

    Not being able to be around weapons because of a restraining order is stupid. I know I am preaching to the choir though.

    Well, went to court in December and got the restraining order dismissed. Got my training course done and applied for my CCW on 12-17-2012. I got a call on the 13th of March that my permit was ready to pickup! It was cost me about $2,000 for one of the best lawyers I have ever had! I would recommend Kyle Sawyer of the O'malley Law Firm for any of your criminal/CCW issues. Kyle is an Awsome guy!! He can be reached at (303) 830-0880. No this was not a paid advertisement, just a shout out to a great young lawyer.
