When may a peace officer search for firearms without a warrant after an emergency prohibition order?

  2. When the officer is off duty
  3. When getting a warrant is not practicable because of a possible danger
  4. When the firearm is in a car
Show answer

Correct answer: When getting a warrant is not practicable because of a possible danger

The grounds for a warrant must exist. The officer may search without one only if danger makes a warrant impracticable.
