Virginia Law

Are there other Restrictions?

Yes. In addition to any other terms set in the
protective order, Virginia law prohibits you
from purchasing or transporting a firearm
while the protective order is in effect. You must
surrender your concealed weapons permit to
the court that entered the protective order. A
violation of this law is a Class 1 misdemeanor,
which is punishable by up to one year in jail and
a $2,500 fine. Va. Code § 18.2-308.1:4.

A violation of any of the terms of a protective order
is a Class 1 misdemeanor and is punishible by up to
one year in jail and a $2,500 fine. Va. Code § 16.1-
253.2. A third or subsequent violation of a protective
order is a felony. In addition, it is a felony to injure
someone as a result of a protective order violation or
to violate a protective order by sneaking into the home
of a person protected by the protective order. If you
violate the protective order, you also may be charged
with other crimes, such as trespassing, breaking and
entering, and stalking. Finally, if you are convicted of
violating a protective order, the court will enter another
protective order against you that can last up to two
years. You will receive this penalty in addition to any
other penalty that is allowed under the law.


Federal Law

In addition, federal law prohibits you from
possessing any firearm or ammunition while
you are subject to a qualifying protective order.
Local offices of the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco and Firearms can be contacted to
determine whether you can lawfully possess
a firearm. A violation of this federal law is
punishable by up to ten years in prison. 18
U.S.C. 922(g)(8).
