In most cases, if you are under a restraining order, you are prohibited from carrying a firearm. Federal law generally prohibits individuals who are subject to certain types of restraining orders from possessing firearms. However, specific laws can vary by state, so it is important to consult local regulations and legal counsel for precise guidance.

What age can you carry a gun in your car?

State law does not give an age. But under that section it states if you are "prohibited by law from possessing a firearm" you can not carry a handgun in your vehicle (among others). Under Federal law it states someone under 18 can not possess a handgun without parental consent. So it is a safe bet that you can not carry a handgun in your vehicle if under 18.
