The majority of the cases, I would think, are murder suicide, so the husband already had a gun. The overwhelming weapon of choice is a kitchen knife in violent domestic disputes in Canada BTW. Her having an AR15 would be irrelevant in most cases, unless she's walking around her residence carrying it, loaded, and unlocked.

A buddy of mine had his wife (ex now) change the locks on their door. He came home after work and had to kick the door in. I guess she should had shot him dead, and create fatherless children. Yup, that's the way life should be, shoot first, then go oops later.

Think about it, do you need to carry, or have within reach, a loaded weapon to feel safe where you live?

Again, your way of life and culture is way different then ours.


Lot's of us would say he didn't have to kick the door in. Could have waited. Could have called for dispassionate third parties to help defuse the situation. I suppose there are a good number of motherless children in Canada who wish their mother had some means to protect herself when the husband/boyfriend kicked the door in.

In terms of accuracy, I would guess the 110 pound woman, waiting on the other side of the door with gun at the ready, likely has the upper hand with the usually somewhat intoxicated guy who just burst through the door. But not when she's unarmed.

The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia
