Can you have and Order of Protection put against you and still have hunting rights in the state of Illinois?

You need to check with your local Police or Sheriffs Department to be sure...





Most Court issued Protection orders are granted due to threats or results of accusations or proof of Domestic Assault or Violence. Unless the protection order has been adjudicated (Trial completed and there is an actual court disposition/finding (guilt or not guilty) Hunting or mere ';posession'; of ANY firearm is ILLEGAL. Technically in many states (Illinois too)a Domestic Order of Protection gives the Police the right to temporarily confiscate a suspects weapons/firearms until the case is heard in court..After trial they will either be returned or destroyed based on the judges ruling.....Can you have and Order of Protection put against you and still have hunting rights in the state of Illinois?
Hmmm.... it depends on what you plan on hunting.





I agree with checking with your local law enforcement or maybe your attorney can give you good advice, after all, if you screw up, you'll be chatting with him anyway. :)





Also, at least in my State, hunting PRIVILEGES can be revoked if you are behind in child support payments, not just for felonies.





My suggestion would be to leave whoever wants you to leave them alone. The FPO will expire, they will move on and so will you... then go hunting! No person is worth losing your privileges over!Can you have and Order of Protection put against you and still have hunting rights in the state of Illinois?
Absolutely, The only way that they can take away hunting rights in Illinois is if you have a felony on you record.
it depends on how the orde of protection is written. With new laws in place, frequently a ';broilerplate'; order of protection will be enough to prevent firearms ownership...I guess he could still bow hunt...





but the best bet is to....CALL A LAWYER
