What is the deal with these exactly? Anyone can get a protective order out on someone, wives do it all the time to their husbands when they are filing for divorce. My question is.....If someone was subject to a protective order (Which lasts until there is a hearing within 2 weeks I believe) or subject to a restraining order, but the order/s have been removed, then does that mean that person is no longer eligible to get a pistol permit? I don't see why they would really need to ask that question on on the pistol permit application. I can see if they asked if there was a CURRENT order out on them, but not a PAST one. If anyone here with any knowledge of all this knows anything please reply. Thank you and have a nice day.
