A judge on Friday overturned the firearms prohibition on James O’Keefe after West Palm Beach Police confiscated his guns.
Last month James was served with a restraining order while he was livestreaming at his West Palm Beach, Florida, headquarters on Tuesday.
The Palm Beach Sheriff’s Deputy served James with a domestic violence restraining order.
The domestic violence restraining order was from Matthew Tyrmand, a former Project Veritas board member.
“Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Department just served me with a domestic violence restraining order from Matthew Tyrmand. The former board member from Project Veritas who said he wants to murder me,” James O’Keefe said.
“Despite admitting multiple times on hidden camera wanting me dead, Matthew Tyrmand filed a restraining order against ME in Miami Dade County,” O’Keefe said.
“Saying such things as: “I would kill him [O’Keefe]. Because he is one of the most evil people I’ve ever known.,”” he said.
“He even shot up my book with rifle bullets through my heart on the cover. The audacity of evil has no bounds,” O’Keefe said.
James O’Keefe previously honey-trapped Matthew Tyrmand at a restaurant.
During the encounter in Miami Beach that was recorded by camera, Tyrmand ‘admitted’ to being an FBI-Southern District of New York (SDNY) informant.

So Tyrmand responded by slapping James with a restraining order.
James O’Keefe appeared before a judge in a Miami court earlier this month.
The judge extended the restraining order and ordered James to surrender his firearms.
On Thursday evening, West Palm Beach Police arrived to OMG’s headquarters in Florida and confiscated O’Keefe’s firearms.
