What are the consequences of having a domestic violence restraining order taken out against me?

In situations in which an individual is the subject of a domestic violence restraining order, they may face a number of consequences in their life as a result. Primarily, they may be subject to arrest if they violate the terms of the restraining order, even if the violation was accidental or unwitting. Additionally, they may have to surrender any firearms they own and may be prohibited from purchasing firearms in the future.
