San Diego used red-flag law to take guns from 21 people in April [Breaking]
Local authorities have used red-flag laws to remove firearms from five people accused of threatening gun violence during road rage confrontations over the last six months, the San Diego City Attorney’s Office said Tuesday.
That case was one of 21 gun violence restraining orders the City Attorney’s Office obtained in April. That is on top of the 50 gun violence restraining orders it had already won this year, allowing law enforcement to temporarily confiscate guns from people believed to pose a threat to themselves or others.In another recent incident, according to a court filing, a man punched employees at a Rancho Peñasquitos grocery store after he was told the store was closed.
Gun violence restraining orders, approved by Superior Court judges, are intended to be used as a tool for crisis intervention. They require a person to surrender or sell their firearms, and bars them from having guns or ammunition for the duration of the order. According to the City Attorney’s Office, the other four recent road rage cases included an incident in which a driver with a gun challenged another driver on College Avenue. The driver with a gun said he was with law enforcement — he was not.
