How Domestic Violence Charges Affect Your Rights

- Placement under an extended order of protection
The specific domestic violence charges that can result in gun loss are:
- Assault
- Battery
- Sexual assault
- False imprisonment
- Using force or threat to obtain compliance
- Unlawful or forcible entry
