Let's see what this experiment shows us.....

This woman had both an order of protection against her ex-boyfriend and a gun....

Try to guess how this played out...can you?

Which tool kept this woman safe from harm....the order of protection....or the gun........?

2-time rapist shot dead by ex-girlfriend after violating protective order

The woman, who has not been publicly identified, told authorities that Patrick Dewayne Decker showed up at her house just after 9 p.m. and began banging loudly on the doors and windows, local media reported. The woman grabbed a handgun, and shortly thereafter, Decker busted down the front door. As Decker unlawfully entered the woman’s home, she shot him multiple times. After he was shot, Decker turned around and ran a few hundred feet before he collapsed.

The woman then called the police. When Grayson County Sheriff’s deputies arrived, they found Decker lying on the ground. He had been shot at least once in the chest and was pronounced dead at the scene by the county coroner.

Decker and the victim were once involved romantically, but that relationship had previously come to an end. In fact, at the time of the break-in and subsequent shooting, the woman had an active order of protection against Decker. However, the restraining order had recently been amended to allow Decker to stay with his parents, who live next door to the victim. But while Decker was granted permission to live next door, the order still prohibited him from any contact with the victim or engaging in any acts of violence against her. And with good reason.

Now...
from what we can tell...this woman is not a Navy Seal...she was not easily disarmed....

Also.......with this order of protection.....in many states now this man would have had his guns confiscated.........do you think that action would have saved this woman from him?


And on top of that...he was already a felon...so he couldn't legally own a gun any way...right....?

Would the fact that he could not legally own a gun have saved her?


Or was it the fact that she had a great gun the one thing that saved her?

Only a left wing gun grabber would have trouble with those questions....

And...he was a convicted rapist.........who our criminal justice system allowed back onto our streets...that is the real crime problem in this country...repeat offenders allowed back out over and over again....

Why was he even loose?


According to the Kentucky State Police, Decker was a registered sex offender with two prior convictions for first-degree rape, which state statutes define as non-consensual intercourse either by force or against a victim who is physically incapacitated or under the age of 12. His criminal history also included burglary, kidnapping and assault.

Yes.....the police can get to the scene to write the report up for her murder......that is how many orders of protection work...

This situation, although not exactly the same, reminds me of the scene near the end of Sleeping with the Enemy when Julia Roberts character held her estranged husband at bay with a gun while she made a call to the police saying she shot an intruder then shot him. While her manner of protection was to leave and try to start a new life elsewhere, it was the gun that solved the problem not the leaving.
