A neighbor of mine (that I don't know) just shot her ex when he broke her door down. The police had been there numerous times and the woman never got a protection order. She has two small kids. She got a gun instead.

So far she's not being charged with anything and as someone who's had to get a protection order and have sent someone to jail I'm really pissed off.

Having a protection order doesn't always prevent anything. Sorry you had to hear all the goings on. That's nerve wracking.

That seems like a really stressful thing to experience even if you're just a neighbor who heard/observed bits of the whole thing. Also from the sound of it could be argued as self defense...especially if he was intending to harm any of them or expressed such intent but either way unpleasant.

History has shown that even if it's truely in self defense. It's going to cost you more than $10,000 to defend yourself. and that does not let you off the hook for any civil trials for whatever the family decides to sue you for.

The system has gotten so screwed up by the AntiGun lobby. You cant even defend yourself. I could tell you about the nightmare that a guy living in my city is still going through after the intruder broke down three doors to get in the bedroom, but it would take the whole page.

It doesn't matter where all the legal stuff ends up.................... The lady is going to have to live with the fact she killed someone. Those memories will truely haunt her for the rest of her life. Anybody with PTSD can relate............
Thanks for this!

WHWT- you've made me see if in a whole different light; to me it just looks like she set him up. Thank you to the others that answered but I'm not close enough to be bothered--I'm just ticked off that some woman can blow a guy away without any charges being filed. Makes me want to buy a gun and make a list!!

I wanted to get a protection order against my ex husband and the police told me he has to hit me first!
