Got shades of Richard Farley. He too was a stalker and went on a rampage that claimed 7 lives in 1988.

A restraining order would not have saved her (but obviously it should have been issued).
She would have been better served by a CCP.

Yeh! I would have spent my free time at the range.

That is EXACTLY what Mrs. E said.
I was stunned. While Mrs E and I both attended the NRA's basic firearm safety course back in 2007 in preparation for a CCW (I went on to get mine, she did not), she is still somewhat certifiably afraid of firearms.
She said that the judge should've issued a letter, sent to the stalker, that essentially stated that while the applicant's personal protection order was declined, she's got a CCW and she's now packin' heat.
Mrs. E calls herself a liberal, but she's really a closet conservative with social liberal leanings.
For her to say something like this tends to give me hope. I think I'll keep the ol' gal. :-)

Unfortunately, a majority of stalkers or crazy ex's do end up killing their victims. Movies like Enough with Jennifer Lopez and Sleeping with the Enemy with Julia Roberts with the potential victim becoming the hero by killing their attackers.... never really happens.
