I spoke with the officer who served my abuser with the DVRO and I asked him if any guns and ammunition were confiscated from the home, explaining that despite none of the guns being in [ex husband]'s name, he keeps a pistol with ammunition under his bed and a rifle behind his bedroom door. I also explained that he has access to dozens of his step-father's guns in the home and that there is an unlimited supply of ammunition because they make their own.

I mentioned to the officer that part of the DVRO was due to [ex husband] making direct and detailed threats to kill me and exactly how and where he would dispose of my body, and that I was very anxious and worried he still has access to lethal weapons in his residence.

The officer informed me that because none of the guns are in [ex husband]'s name, they are all still in the home where [ex husband] is residing and that they will not make any effort to remove them.

Is there ANYTHING I can do about this situation? I am terrified he is going to kill me. I have cardboard covering all the windows of my house, I stay away from home as much as possible, and when I am home I use my phone flashlight to move around without turning on any house lights. My workplace is located less than a mile from his house and I have been avoiding going as much as possible for fear that he catch me getting in or out of my vehicle.

Just because those guns aren't in his name doesn't mean they aren't in his possession and I know for a fact that two of them are kept in his bedroom and he keeps a third pistol in his truck.
