New Jersey Extreme Risk Protection Order #9

A New Jersey Extreme Risk Protection Order is a legal tool designed to prevent individuals who may pose a risk to themselves or others from possessing firearms. This court-issued order temporarily removes firearms from individuals deemed to be a danger due to specific behaviors, such as threats of violence, self-harm, or violent tendencies. The main goal of an ERPO is to temporarily restrict a person’s access to firearms when they are considered to be at significant risk of harming themselves or others. The order aims to prevent gun violence by intervening when there is a credible threat.
