She gets a restraining order, which only pisses abusive boyfriend off more.<BR/><BR/>Question: Is it psychotic for the female in the scenario to then ask her lawyer something to the effect of, "What if he breaks into my house and, fearing for my life, I have to kill him?" <BR/><BR/>I think not, and frankly, I think a person who cares enough about making sure it's a "good shoot" to ask their lawyer the "what ifs" is worthy of our respect, not condemnation. <BR/><BR/>*shakes head at anti-thinking anti-gunners...*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-10918744530090504272007-07-22T17:06:00.000-05:002007-07-22T17:06:00.000-05:00As a self-confessed hoplophobe, I salute you, sir,...<I>As a self-confessed hoplophobe, I salute you, sir, for shooting the bad arguments down.
