Guns and abuse are a deadly mix. Even if an abuser hasn't been convicted of a crime, and even if a survivor doesn't have a protective order, there are still mechanisms to remove guns from abusers in order to keep survivors safe. Learn more: bit.ly/3VIDy0m
ALT I don't have a protective order, and my abuser has not been convicted of a crime. Can they still own a gun? There are circumstances where it’s still illegal for an abuser to own a gun, like a dishonorable military discharge. Guns and abusers can be a deadly combination. Consider making a safety plan for yourself, or talking to an advocate. Visit WomensLaw.org to find additional information or to speak with an attorney for free on the WomensLaw Email Hotline.

Many of you may be survivors yourself, but others might love someone who has experienced sexual harm or may want to be an effective ally to change this culture of violence we have been swimming in for so long. There is no manual on how to be an ally. We learn from experience. 1/7
