California's Effort to Limit Gun Violence - The New AB 1014 Law Dissected

 
Understand the key aspects of California’s Gun Violence Restraining Order law, and how it can be utilized to help limit gun violence.On May 23, 2014, Eliot Rodger shot and killed six people in the college town of Isla Vista, California, before killing himself. Rodger displayed such concerning behavior before the shooting that his parents contacted his therapist who alerted the police. Although law enforcement interviewed him, the officers did not remove Rodgers’ guns. In response to the Isla Vista massacre, California enacted the first law of its kind that allows family and household members to petition a court for an order removing a dangerous person’s access to guns.
The Gun Violence Restraining Order (GVRO) is modeled after the domestic violence restraining order process in California, and takes advantage of existing systems and due process protections. This topic will help practitioners understand the key aspects of California’s groundbreaking law that went into effect on January 1, 2016, and how to identify the circumstances under which it should be utilized to help prevent suicides and other gun violence.
Family law attorneys who are familiar with the domestic violence restraining order process in California are particularly well-suited to assist clients who need to petition for GVROs, but this material will lay the groundwork for general and other practitioners to incorporate this life-saving tool into their practices as well.
