Do you want to lose your CCW permit without any notice or a hearing? If a Temporary Protective Order is issued against you or you are charged with Battery Domestic Violence, your CCW permit will be taken. Protective orders are issued in many cases where there is an allegation of Domestic Violence. When police are called to a domestic disturbance and a primary aggressor is identified and arrested, the police will encourage an alleged victim of domestic violence to obtain a temporary protective order (TPO) against the person who was arrested. Either way, if you have a CCW, it is going to be suspended or revoked.
Protective orders are easy to obtain as the burden for an applicant (alleged victim) to show a judge is very low. Even without a Battery Domestic Violence charge, anyone can go to the courthouse and fill out an application, and a TPO will normally be issued by the court without notice and without a hearing. There can be serious ramifications to the issuance of these orders. One is the revocation of the permitee's CCW.
Also, when a CCW permitee is charged (not convicted) with Battery Domestic Violence, the permitee's CCW will be suspended. If the charge is eventually dropped or the defendant is acquitted, the permit shall be restored. This is just one more reason that Battery Domestic Violence is such a serious charge.
