A Risk Protection Order can be which of the following forms?

• A. Informal warning letter.
• B. Administrative directive.
• C. Temporary ex parte order or final order by a court.
• D. Internal memo.

Answer: (C)

Risk Protection Orders are court-issued protections designed to address imminent risk by restricting firearms access or contact. They come in two forms: a temporary ex parte order issued by a judge to address an immediate danger, and a final order issued after a hearing. The other options aren’t correct because informal warning letters, administrative directives, or internal memos are not court orders and do not carry enforceable legal authority or due-process protections. The ex parte order provides swift interim protection, while the final order offers lasting relief after a hearing.
