PFA in Pa and own/buying after it expires

**kwmpa** · December 17th, 2012, 08:19 PM

I had some issues with an ex who got a PFA against me. Dispute having a bunch of evidence against her the judge just ignored it and issued it anyway. It was a 3 year with the firearms restriction. I had my father store them for me. I have a little less than a year left on it. I am curious as to what happens after the PFA expires. Do I get to have my guns back? And well I be able to purchase firearms again? Or am I going to be blacklisted from ever owning purchasing again?

A PFA is a temporary prohibitor. When it expires, you should once again be permitted to possess and purchase firearms.

I had a pfa on me many years ago and never had a problem with buying guns. Not that it makes a difference but it was expired for over 5 years when I bought my first.
