A: potential inability to possess firearms, restricted freedom to go certain places, ease of being arrested on a simple referral to law enforcement, potential employment problems if required to access certain federal, state, county facilities. However, the requirement to obtain a renewal is minimal. If you haven't violated the TRO since it was put in place, you can file a response to the renewal request indicating your opposition and lack of need for the renewal.

A: MORE INFO NEEDED.

NOT SURE IF YOU ARE THE ONE GETTING IT OR ONE IS ISSUED AGAINST YOU.

CHANCE ARE NO ONE WOULD FIND OUT IF YOU ARE NOT LOOKING FOR EMPLOYMENT.

THE CONDITIONS SET FORTH WHEN THE FIRST ONE WAS ISSUED WOULD KICK IN AGAIN.

IN THAT REGARD I WOULD TALK TO THE LAWYER WHO WAS INVOLVED IN THAT ONE.

USUALLY, NO FIRM ARMS ALLOWED AND IT GIVES POLICE AN EASY WAY TO QUESTION YOU ETC

PRETTY EASY TO RENEW OR OPPOSE....IT WOULD BE FACT DRIVEN.
