Can someone with a protective order against them possess a firearm in Maryland?

Yes, but only after 5 years
Yes, unless the order specifically prohibits it
No
Only if they owned the firearm before the order

The correct answer is: No

Someone with a protective order against them cannot possess a firearm in Maryland. This is because protective orders are put in place to protect someone from being harmed, and possessing a firearm would go against this protection. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they all allow for possession of a firearm in some circumstances, whereas option C is the only one that completely prohibits possession of a firearm with a protective order.
