Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson says he has no plans to file new charges against anyone convicted of domestic violence in the last five years who illegally possesses a firearm. The new state law requires such individuals to dispose of guns, with no specified method. Branson notes penalties apply if they fail to comply, and the law took effect May 3 after being signed by Gov. Jeff Colyer.
