A woman, a batterer and a gun
Posted by David Hardy · 16 January 2006 06:03 PM
In the San Fran Chronicle, Joan Ryan has a piece on a spousal battery victim, in hiding from her ex, who got caught carrying illegally and wound up serving time (and losing the right to possess a firearm, even in her house).
"She now has no protection. (I wonder whether San Francisco voters considered domestic violence situations when they voted in November to ban all handguns and what consequences women like Rebecca might pay.)"

This article just made me sick. How many more people must lose their 2nd amendment rights? The Founding Fathers must be rolling over in their graves.
The law against carrying concealed guns makes good sense.
It's sad that after such a good article, she has to conclude with that.
What's sad is that the prosecutors where she lives didn't exercise their discresion not to pursue charges.
