Supervision during which you are essentially doing domestic violence classes and doing your time for about two years.
“now the question is do you get your guns back truthfully the only way that you get your guns but your gun rights back after you've been charged with an act of domestic violence is one to beat the charge in other words don't have a conviction enter or if you enter into something like a deferred sentence where the case remains open but the conviction doesn't enter against you after the period of time that you've gone through probation done everything for your deferred sentence then you can get your guns back but the only way you get your guns back when you're charged with domestic violence is to not have a domestic violence conviction enter”
“this is only available in certain circumstances in certain cases so you need to consult with an experienced domestic violence attorney in order to see if you're eligible for this but in a deferred sentence situation you would be charged with a domestic violence crime and then you would take a plea of guilty go through basically a rehabilitation process where you're essentially on probation doing domestic violence classes and doing your time for about two years but no conviction actually enters”
“In the criminal case, there will be a protection order issued against the husband, the defendant, for this crime of domestic violence assault. Now, that is a mandatory issuance. There is no way around it. Even if the named victim says that she doesn't want there to be a protection order, the protection order will remain no matter what. There are different ways that the protection order can be modified, which we go into in other videos. But, for that criminal charge, the protection order remains as long as the case is open. And that includes as long as the case is open if you're on probation thereafter.”
“So, the key differences are number one, a criminal protection order enters automatically on a domestic violence case. A civil protection order has to be actively sought for, applied for and there's a hearing for that. A criminal protection order lasts for the duration of the criminal charged case. Once the case is done, so once someone's gone through and let's say they've gone through probation and they've successfully gone through probation and ended the case, the criminal protection order is no longer in effect. A civil protection order on the other hand lasts for as long as someone wanted wants it to last.”
