Red Flags and Background Checks

make sense.  Not sure why people fight them?

That depends on the legitimacy of the complaint for the red flag. For example, you have a dispute with your neighbor and now they maliciously request that you not be able to have firearms.

In this case they need to apparently convince a judge.

"Details: Under the "red flag" provision, a family member, current or former spouse, roommate, mental health provider or law enforcement official could petition a judge to approve taking firearms from someone who "poses a significant danger" of harming others or is at risk of suicide."

And unless you live next to your ex-wife, it looks the neighbor does not have a say. Unless they can convince your sheriff.

The constitution prefers the armed to the unarmed. That being the case, one solution is to just stay away from places where the armed shoot people.

I know I tend to avoid places where I might get shot.

Personally I do not think about it much...
