Can individuals under a protective order in Maryland possess firearms?

Yes, if they owned the firearm before the order
Yes, but only with special permission
No, they must surrender all firearms
No, unless they are law enforcement officers

The correct answer is: No, they must surrender all firearms

In Maryland, individuals under a protective order are not permitted to possess any firearms. This is because the purpose of a protective order is to keep the individual safe from harm, and the presence of firearms can increase the risk of violence. Options A and B are incorrect because they both allow for possession of firearms in certain circumstances, which goes against the purpose of the protective order. Option D is incorrect because being a law enforcement officer does not exempt an individual from a protective order. Therefore, option C is the only correct answer.
