HB 1208 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

Community Safety Risk Protection Act.

HB 1208, known as the Community Safety Risk Protection Act, requires individuals in North Carolina to surrender firearms, ammunition, and related permits to law enforcement when a civil no-contact order is issued against them. This measure applies to people who have threatened violence, made threats of suicide, or caused serious injury to a victim, and it mandates that these items be stored by the sheriff until the legal order expires or is denied. The bill also outlines a process for individuals to request the return of their surrendered items after the protective order is no longer in effect, provided they are not legally prohibited from owning a firearm.
