[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What if VA passed a Yellow Flag law where Heather could report Josh to a registry as a psycho ex.  He is yellow flagged in system.  And if he ever purchases a gun, she gets notified immediately.  This is a hypo/example.  Might be good for situations not meeting usual red flag criteria.  Or would this situation have met new red flag criteria?[/quote]

If she got a restraining order against him, would that be considered a red flag? Assuming she was aware of him as a problem. Doesn't sound like she was, tho, which makes a yellow flag law just as useless as a restraining order.[/quote]

Restraining order is very hard to get in some circumstances. Again it’s not clear in this case if a yellow flag law would have been effective (np here) but it certainly could be in certain situations. You would be shocked at how many women deal with weirdo ex boyfriends or someone they went on one date with who continue to contact them and do weird things that are quite unsettling but don’t meet criteria for a restraining order. Cops just look at you and shrug (ask me how I know..)[/quote]
