Restraining Orders: A Phony Refuge from an Abuser
with his wife and daughters.
<snip>
As it turned out, the piece of paper had no effect in keeping a deranged man from killing his wife.
The problem is that many women see the restraining order a silver bullet that will keep them safe from their former abuser or stalker. Many times what the victim needs isn't a proverbial silver bullet, but instead a real bullet fired from a gun she bought for self-defense. Ultimately, many victims never even investigate using the one tool that will keep them alive.
They choose not to buy a gun because of the false information put out by the establishment media and by some self-defense experts who claim the gun will be taken away and used by the stalker or wife-beater. In a world where women demand equal treatment under the law, it is ironic that some accept being told they can't properly handle a firearms.
Restraining orders are like locks. There is a saying that locks keep honest people honest. A restraining order will not stop anyone any more than a No Gun Sign stops anyone. By all means use a restraining order but back it up with a gun.
