RHINELANDER - People who get a domestic abuse restraining order granted against them will now be required to turnover their guns to local sheriff's offices. It's a new law intending to cut down on domestic abuse-related deaths.
The law forces people with domestic abuse restraining orders to give up their guns for a set period of time. The Firearm Surrender Law took effect on November 1.
Lt. Terri Hook of the Oneida County Sheriff's Office says the county issues about 10 of these restraining orders each year.
