Yes, without restrictions
No
Yes, but only if the firearm is registered
Yes, but with special court permission

The correct answer is: No

No, an individual cannot possess a firearm in Washington D.C. if they have a restraining order against them. Restraining orders are issued by the court to protect individuals from harm or harassment, and possessing a firearm while subject to a restraining order would pose a significant safety risk. It is important to comply with the conditions of the restraining order and refrain from possessing firearms to ensure the safety of all parties involved.
