Governor Schwarzenegger yesterday signed legislation by Senator Christine Kehoe (D-San Diego) that will provide additional protection for people seeking court protective orders under the Family Code...
Specifically, Senate Bill 585:
1. Adds additional provisions to the Family Code to allow law enforcement to consider seeking the immediate surrender of a firearm from a person served with a protective order.
2. Reduces from 72 hours to 48 hours the time frame by which a person served with a protective order must show proof to a court that they either sold or surrendered their firearms.
3. Requires that application forms for protective orders ask what types of firearms are in the possession of the respondent.
All without being convicted of a thing. And we all know vengeful "partners" would never make anything up. Besides, "presumption of innocence" is a quaint concept, but, like the Second Amendment, was obviously written for a different time.
Thanks, Arnold!
First the .50's and now this. I knew we could count on you!
And thanks again, major gun groups! How big were those "good size chunks" of money again?
