Order to Surrender Weapons without Notice – King County Only
Recently updated on June 7th, 2025 at 02:49 am
LegalAtoms has developed the questions in collaboration with the Firearms unit at the King County, and the idea is to allow users to opt to keep firearms away from the respondent if they have access to one, or even if it’s just a risk factor.

If the client opts for OTSW then they will be led to the Firearms ID questionnaire
If the client has marked No, the client would not see the additional questionnaire, and the Order to Surrender weapons will not be generated
If the client has marked Yes, the client will answer “Can you please explain why the respondent should be prohibited from getting a firearm before the next hearing?“ and the output will be displayed in WPF DV 1.015 Petition for Order for Protection
