Georgia law does not:

• Prohibit individuals convicted of domestic violence misdemeanors from possessing firearms or ammunition (unlike federal law);
• Prohibit individuals subject to domestic violence protective orders from possessing firearms or ammunition (unlike federal law);
• Require courts to notify people when they become prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition under state or federal law due to domestic violence;
• Require the surrender of firearms or ammunition by people who have become prohibited from possessing them under state or federal law due to domestic violence; or
• Explicitly authorize or require the removal of firearms or ammunition at the scene of a domestic violence incident.
