Illustration for Arms Bill

If a court makes a Firearms Prohibition Order (FPO) against you, it means you are not allowed to access, possess, or use any firearm or related item. The FPO has standard conditions that are explained in section 291, and these can be changed by the court. The court can also add special conditions to your FPO, as explained in section 293.
