How gun control helped a stalker kill my husband

Postby ttousi on Tue Feb 25, 2014 9:20 pm

In April 2009, my husband was shot six times in front of me in the middle of a busy restaurant by a man who was stalking me. I have a permit to carry a handgun but because of the law at that time in my home state of Tennessee, I had to leave the gun that I normally carried for self defense, locked in my car that night.

My husband Ben and I ran our mobile karaoke business out of a restaurant that served alcohol and my gun was forbidden there. I obeyed the law but my stalker, who was carrying a gun illegally, ignored it.


abides by the law

I asked the management at the restaurant to remove him.When they approached him and asked him to leave, he pulled out a .45 semi-auto and shot Ben. He then stood over him and continued to fire five more rounds into my husband.


yup ......criminals obey the laws :evil:

[extreme sarcasm]

It's the fault of America's Gun Culture, and gun-nut yahoos who oppose common-sense gun laws.

YES, that's it, just make crime illegal and there will be no killing with knives or guns, no need to lock doors or have security personnel or equipment at businesses, credit card number can be used online without security risks, all of this an much more would be a non issue if they just wrote a laws...

I know this was sarcasms, but yes that is what liberals think and I am not being sarcastic.

No, I think it's more like "if we just raised everybody to be peaceful and gentle, and made sure no one was raised in poverty and discrimination, no one would WANT to break the law".

I'll see it first before I give up my gun.

If we lived in a peaceful world, where there was no violence, and nobody ever harmed another, what would be the problem if some people chose to carry guns?
