If the court issued an emergency ERPO, the law enforcement agency who serves the paperwork will take the firearms when they come to inform you about the order. They will be stored at the police department for the duration of the order.

If you wish to have the court consider allowing the transfer of your firearms to a federally-licensed firearms dealer, you may raise this at your hearing. Any costs associated with storage will be your responsibility.

If you were given 24 hours to transfer your firearms to a law enforcement agency or federally-licensed firearms dealer, use the forms listed below. You must file these forms with law enforcement, not the court.

Declaration of No Ownership or Possession of Firearms (ERP205) – Use this form if you do not currently own or possess any firearms. This is the only form you will need.
Respondent’s Declaration of Transfer of Firearms (ERP206) – Use this form if you transferred all of firearms you own or possess to a law enforcement agency or federally-licensed firearms dealer. This is filed with the Proof of Transfer (ERP207) listed in your order within two business days of the transfer.
Proof of Transfer (ERP207) – This form is filled out by the law enforcement agency or a federally-licensed firearms dealer that accepted the transfer of firearms.
Affidavit of Transfer of Antique Firearms to Relative (ERP208) - Use this form if you transfer a firearm considered an antique or considered a curio or relic to a relative who is legally allowed to possess a firearm.
