Well, maybe some folks.
But I would probably come across looking like this:

LAKELAND — A 32-year-old woman was arrested on June 15 when she gathered her husband’s guns to turn them over to the Lakeland Police Department.
According to Courtney Irby’s arrest affidavit, she told police her husband had been taken to jail for trying to run over her with a car. Irby said she went to Joseph Irby’s apartment on Village Center Drive in Lakeland and searched for the guns she knew he had.
When she told a Lakeland police officer she had the guns with her to turn them in, he replied, “So are you telling me that you committed an armed burglary?” and Irby answered, “Yes, I am, but he wasn’t going to turn them in, so I am doing it,” according to reports.
Police verified Irby had never stayed at her husband’s apartment until the day of the burglary.
Officers made contact with Joseph Irby, who was still incarcerated at the Polk County Jail, and he said he wanted to press charges against his wife for entering his apartment and taking the guns, reports say.
Court records show that Irby applied for a temporary injunction against her husband and the two were in the process of a divorce.
She was charged with armed burglary of a dwelling and grand theft of a firearm.
If the laws wherever Lakeland is are the same as in California, the issuance of a “stay away” restraining order automatically requires that the restrained person turn in all of his or her firearms.
It appears that the wife might have just decided she was going to make sure her ex complied with that part of the order, aside from whether she had any actual fear that her husband would use the firearms against her.
Fake accusations of criminal conduct are part and parcel of divorce proceedings. Not always, but often enough.
Wow. I’ve already told my son in law to come get any guns the day I go missing or get arrested.
I would rather he gets them than anyone else.
If he has an injunction it doesn’t give her pass to go to his place when he isn’t there.
She has nice lips......it get’s kinda weird after that.
Nobody wins.
What was he in for?...........
Marrying “crazy.”
I was wondering if the police were so hard on her because they know she is lying about the car story.
I only say that because just yesterday a kid I know had to go to court to defend himself against a total travesty of a restraining order. Luckily, the judge saw through it.
Or War of the Roses!...........
Well, maybe some folks.
But I would probably come across looking like this:
Birds of a feather!.........
If he really did try to run her over, she should have called the police about the guns. I thought they usually confiscated weapons in cases like this.
My dad’s cousin was murdered by her abusive husband when she tried to leave him. Waited until he had left the home to escape but either he came back early or he only pretended to leave.
:-)
He still loses his guns, as they will be held as evidence, probably for years.
The article says she has an injunction against him, not the other way around. I don’t know how these things work, though. That’s why I think the story begs the question, “Why was her presence there illegal?” And the fact that they were getting a divorce is not enough. Without something like a legal separation, etc., you’re married until the divorce is final.
words fail me.
and that is a rare occurrence
Maybe they should take away his car and let him keep the guns.?
Wonder if they will get conjugal visits there in prison.
Yabba dabba doo!
(But looks more like Barney)
Especially if she had a key.
Possibly. Or, she thought she could virtue-signal her way into the Court’s good graces by turning in the bad guns and it didn’t exactly go the way she anticipated.

Looks like young Sarah Conner from Genisys.
Not even close to true. It wasn't "his house", it is an apartment that he was renting. His obligation on a lease with a third party does not entitle her to access to the third party's property. You cannot rent a car in your name, and then give the keys to your spouse without adding them to the rental contract... nor can your spouse force the rental car company to give them a second set of keys to the vehicle.
Florida isn't even a community property state, by the way.
