Update:
The intent of this thread was to share the process of what happens with your firearm rights when a restraining order is placed against you. From date of being served through the process.
This is NOT legal advice, your experience will differ/vary so please consult an attorney for specifics on your case.
1: Any special permits pertaining to firearms are terminated at delivery of RO (CHL's etc)
2: Firearm rights are NOT relinquished when the RO is filed (or when you are served)
3: If you:
4: This is not taking into account SB525 and it's effect on RO's (with or without merit)- that is an entire different can of worms!
5: Please keep in mind this is NOT to drum up sympathy, start a kickstarter, goFundme account, this is for information to help legal firearms owners navigate the RO process.
My RO was dropped due to the petitioner's attorney seeing all of the evidence that was against the petitioner which showed there was NO way possible for any of the accusations to have happened. By the way, never delete text messages, facebook messages, online logs of travels or anything that possibly could remotely be used to back your side of a story.
I will keep this updated up to the point when CHL is reissued and in my hand. After that the process is and will be completed.

As a side note: Since I'm such an "evil" guy...
I was awarded sole temporary custody by the judge on September 4th 2015. I shall have this temporary custody until the trial that could be upwards of two years from now..

Awarded full sole custody. No longer temporary, was made permanent now. Guess I'm still not the evil guy.

Dyjital said:It was an old friend from high school. He is a reserve deputy in Benton County OR.
He handed me a restraining order from my son's mother.
Yesterday she was served papers for custody. We (my wife and I) have been very patient with her and have politely tried over the years to have a solid and steady relationship with my son (the estranged woman would change numbers or move). Well she was served last night around 9pm.
Today reserve Deputy arrives and he says "I have to serve you with these papers and I have to take your CHL" I laughed. He was sorry he had to do it and I just laughed through it. Humor is my defense mechanism.
Totally blown away by a schizophrenic claiming I'm stalking her (we are 30 miles away), and admitting she has diagnosed schizophrenia in the restraining order I'm completely blown away. I can't imagine what the clerk who had to write all of this up was thinking when she/he read this statement.
So my CHL is revoked.
I own no firearms. Seriously, they are all owned by a trust.
The last page of the restraining order claims that I may be restricted from possessing, buying, selling firearms or ammunition and that can be considered breaking my restraining order.
I have 30 days to protest. Heading to lawyer on Monday who is handling the custody and going to slap this on his desk to get it cleared up. To clarify, I actually have done nothing that she claims. I know professing innocence on the internet is pointless, but damn... I can't wait for the bogusness of this to be exposed.
The question, with 941 in passing.... I can't go shooting right? I can't open carry....
