Findings
a. The court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the following are true:

(1) Respondent poses a significant danger of causing personal injury to themself or another person by having in 
their custody or control, owning, purchasing, possessing, or receiving firearms, firearm parts (any receiver, 
frame, or unfinished receiver or frame as defined in Penal Code section 16531), ammunition, or magazines.

(2)

A gun violence restraining order is necessary to prevent personal injury to Respondent or to another person 
because less restrictive alternatives either have been tried and found to be ineffective, or have been 
determined to be inadequate or inappropriate for the current circumstances.

The court has received credible information that the Respondent owns or possesses one or more firearms, 
firearm parts, ammunition, or one or more magazines.

The facts as stated in the Petition and supporting documents, which are incorporated here by reference, 
establish sufficient grounds for the issuance of this Order. Any reasons stated below apply as well.

Warnings and Notices to the Respondent

To the restrained person: This Order is valid until the expiration date and time noted on     
page 1. If you have not done so already, you must surrender all firearms, ammunition, and 
magazines that you own or possess in accordance with section 18120 of the Penal Code. You 
may not have in your custody or control, own, purchase, possess, or receive, or attempt to 
purchase or receive a firearm, ammunition, or magazine, while this Order is in effect. Pursuant 
to section 18185, you have the right to request a hearing on an annual basis to terminate this 
Order during its effective period. You may seek the advice of an attorney as to any matter 
connected with the order.

Violation of this Order is a misdemeanor punishable by a $1,000 fine or imprisonment for six 
months or both. (Pen. Code, §§ 19, 18205.) If you violate this Order, you will be prohibited 
from having in your custody or control, owning, purchasing, possessing, or receiving, or 
attempting to purchase or receive, any prohibited items listed in item 7b, above, for a period 
of five years. This Order must be enforced by any law enforcement officer in the State of 
California who is aware of or shown a copy of this Order. The Order remains enforceable 
regardless of the acts of the parties; it may be terminated only by an order of the court.

Ask if the Restrained Person is in possession of any of the prohibited items listed in item 7b, above, or has custody 
or control of any that they have not already turned in.

   Order the Restrained Person to immediately surrender to you all prohibited items.
•   Issue a receipt to the Restrained Person for all prohibited items that have been surrendered.
•   Complete a proof of personal service and file it with the court. The officer may use form GV-200 for this purpose. 
•   Within one business day of service, submit the proof of service directly into the California Restraining and 
Protective Order System (CARPOS), including the serving officer’s name and law enforcement agency.

Instructions for Law Enforcement
(continued)

Enforcing This Order

The law enforcement officer should determine if the Respondent had notice of the order. Consider the Respondent 
“served” (given notice) if:

•  The officer sees a copy of the proof of service or confirms that the proof of service is on file; or
• 
• 

The respondent was informed of the order by an officer.
Item 8a or 8c is checked.

An officer can obtain information about the contents of the order and proof of service in CARPOS. If proof of service on 
the respondent cannot be verified, the agency must advise the restrained person of the terms of the order and then enforce 
it (see above: Duties of Officer Serving This Order).

The provisions in this Gun Violence Restraining Order After Hearing or Consent to Gun Violence Restraining Order 
(form GV-130) do not affect those of any other protective or restraining order in effect, including a criminal protective 
order. The provisions in any other existing protective order remain in effect. 

Instructions to Clerk 
This order must be served on all parties by the court, if it is made following the filing of a Consent to Gun Violence 
Restraining Order and Surrender of Firearms (form GV-125).

(Clerk will fill out this part.)
