Provides a mechanism for a person subject to a protective order to voluntarily surrender any firearms owned by the individual to a local authority. The local authority must keep the firearms in storage until up to 61 days after the protective order is lifted. After that point, the firearms must be sold at auction to licensed firearms dealers, destroyed or forfeited to the state for use by local law enforcement.

So you don't get your gun back?
Government, like fire is a dangerous servant and a fearful master

Don't fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war let it begin here- John Parker

Only if you don't pick it up from the local government agency that is holding it within 61 days of the protective order being lifted.

Yet another Democrat written bill designed to give the government another way to take away citizens' firearms.
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager
