I have a permanent protection order against my ex husband in Colorado. However, he has been sending photos of himself hunting in Wyoming (to a neighbor). I thought he was not able to own firearms or hunt with a PPO?

I am not exactly sure if he can own a firearm or hunt with a PPO in place. You will need to contact a local criminal law attorney to find out what restrictions are placed against a person who has a PPO based on the applicable state law.
