Hey guys and gals, question for all you knowledgeable people. If someone gets arrested or detained for acting irrational or belligerent in public.To be seen by mental health and clearly states to the officer he wants to "hurt other people". Will he lose his firearms, or will nothing happen? Asking for a relative with a not known to be crazy till now ex-boyfriend.

NOT A LAWYER --NOT LEGAL ADVICE
Most likely, yes. If he is deemed to have mental issues and the means to carry out the threat, he'll likely be ordered to surrender his weapons and if there's a specific person he's threatened, they'll have to be notified in accordance with Tarasoff vs. Regents of the University of California. -

If you're talking about W&I 5150 (a), Danger to Others, I believe he cannot possess a firearm for five years from the date of involuntary commitment.Comment

It's the hold, or the conviction. Pretty sure if he is not held for the full 72 hrs under WIC 5150, then that section does not apply. Will verify in a couple of hours.
If he is convicted, that is a separate bar.Comment
