Domestic violence situations

[ThisLadyHunts]

This is good insight, especially as a dad of 2 young girls. But I can’t help but ask, why aren’t your 2 sisters as stern as you? Same dad and I would assume same lessons?
I think she’s got it in her, if not for her, for her 2 girls to protect them.

As for me. I’m prepared. I highly doubt he would attempt anything, but I don’t let my guard down, ever. If I have pants on on, I have no less than 2 weapons on me.
I have no intentions to get involved beyond what I’ve don’t to help her at this point. But had he decided to hammer on my door last night he would have been flanked, subsequently blinded by a strobing gun mounted light and a 12 ga loaded with Winchester defender slug/00 buck combo and a Winkler Sayoc tomahawk

The answer to your question is complicated and, to be fair, based entirely on my POV. Suffice it to say, that both sisters have suffered some hard knocks, bad relationships, and trails that, in my opinion, were avoidable.

Ironically, and to your question about our having all been raised in the same environment (a military family with conservative leanings and a high value placed on personal responsibility), both of my sisters are extremely liberal. You can make of this what you will.

I have no doubt if someone is put in the right situation they can become mentally able to do what they have to do to survive. Being physically able is a different thing all in itself. My mom is as tough as a woman as I've ever met. She's a fighter, always has been. She punched a girl in the face so hard it knocked her out of her shoes when she was pregnant with me. But I still saw her boyfriend throw her around like a rag doll and beat her up when I was a little kid. She could have shot him, if she was able. It's kinda hard to shoot someone when they're dragging you across the floor by your hair and punching you in the face as hard as they can. It's easy to talk about violence. Doing violence is a whole other ballgame.

If he breaks in and has intentions of doing her harm she better be fast. Once he's on her she's screwed. Unless she can reach that gun and jam it in his eyeball. I've seen what that's all about. When the words stop and the real fight starts it gets pretty rough. She can be the toughest woman you know. That goes out the window when she's getting drug around the house bleedin everywhere.

I'm grown now. If I ever see the man that whooped my mom I'll bite his nose off and spit it out right in his face. He don't know the first thing about being mean.

That could turn violent or deadly for her. Hope she carry’s and filed a restraining order.

Just my thoughts but I would bet 80% of females and 50% of men would not shoot someone they know.
That said, a big mean biting dog is a mighty fine option.

I had a meth head that was not afraid of me or the .45 I had aimed at his face but I turned Bagley ( mean Lacey dog) loose on him and he was mighty afraid of getting bit

Get her an 40 caliber pistol and get her some training.

Sounds like he’s tracking her phone
Make sure she has her location sharing set appropriately

That guy needs a visit from Big Ed. It would only take 1 visit but He would never go back to her house again!

And get a mean dog waiting in the house if he ever comes back

OP, what does your wife say about all this? Is she guiding her friend down the right path? In my experience, women don't listen to men, or at least respond to men, the same way another man would. For example, if I told my friend, hey, you need to get a gun, and let's go shooting until you are comfortable with it, there would be no hesitation. If a man says that to a woman, my experience is they smile, and do nothing.

Now if your wife is telling her friend the same thing, it is a totally different thing coming from a woman. Your wife has a lot more influence over her friend than you do.

That guy is scum, and needs to be dealt with. As the LEO's have pointed out on this thread, they have heard many stories that get way worse, that started the exact same way. I am glad God was watching over her. Clearly He has a plan for her, and her time here is not done.
