Nikki Goeser story to be televised
It's on Tuesday, Feb. 25, 9PM EST, on Investigation Discovery TV. She has a book out, Denied A Chance: How Gun Control Helped a Stalker Murder my Husband which tells her story. She had a CCW permit, but she and her husband dined in a restaurant that served alcohol, a "gun free zone" in their State. She left her gun in the car ... and her husband was murdered while they dined.

The 2nd Amendment does not leave room for permitting and restrictions. Those concepts were pulled out of the same deep dark recesses from where Barron v Baltimore came. It is amazing that the courts suppose they are so much more able to discern what society desires and what the law says than the rest of the people. It is disgusting that so often courts have made it less safe from the evil that permeates the world because of their own predilections. There is only one way to understand any law and that is based on the text of the law. Machinations, interpretations, additions, subtraction, and modifications made by the courts are not law, No one knows the intent of the Framers except of the couple who wrote their thoughts. Yet even then those who wrote may have lied in order to further an agenda. So the People, the true sovereign, can use only the text because that is all anyone really has.
There was a time when law schools really taught Blackstone. I suspect that time passed or the judges would quit thinking they were in charge and remember that society decides what things mean not them. We the People are the sovereign, not the government. This concept is central to the understanding of how the governmental system set up through the Constitution is designed.
So was it the law or the choice of restaurant that is the culprit? I choose not to do business with businesses that do not respect my God endowed Rights. And I will not follow laws that do not conform to the Constitution(s) for as Jefferson stated, those laws are void on their face.
If the SC had properly decided Barron v Baltimore because of text [no specification limiting the 5th and other part of the Bill of Rights to the fed only] and under the supremacy clause [everything in the Constitution that is not specifically directed covers ALL governments], the states would not be allowed to restrict the Right to keep and bear arms. But those justices used their infinite wisdom to screw things up early on. If We the People don't like how things are, we need only look to the source that has caused more problems than solved them, our courts (our unelected aristocracy).
When the government confiscates all the guns we won't have to worry about this sort of thing happening. With the guns gone people will change..there won't be any self defense killings,or armed robberies,or car jackings,or burglaries,or gun free zone massacres,people may even stop using dope and we can go into Central Park on a balmy night with no fear. Think about it.
There are two similar programs back-to-back about that time on that channel. The description of the one at 10 PM sounded more in line with the story that you are describing. I scheduled taping of both of them to make sure.
