Slain Wife Had Protective Order (another restraining order success story)

"More than a month before her death, the wife of a Pearl Harbor sailor filed a request for a protective order against her husband.

"Zalerha Daermond, 31, and her mother, 66-year-old Saniah Binte Ghani, were killed on June 10, 38 days after a family court judge granted the order against David Dearmond, a hull technician second class at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard.

"The 32-year-old sailor has been at the Ford Island brig, pending charges, since turning himself in June 10.

"The Honolulu medical examiner's office said Zaleha Dearmond was beaten to death, and her mother died of stab wounds to the chest and abdomen..."

"If someone comes at you with a knife, or gun, say, 'I know you're upset.' We all want to be valued as human beings." -- Jessica Flagg, 4% of a Million Mom March, Washington, DC, May, 2000

Although provisions are on the books, licenses are seldom granted. In fact, nobody can remember anyone, except one police department civilian worker, ever receiving one... Other than New Jersey, Hawaii is the most "gun-unfriendly" state...The really strange thing about this is that their non-issue policy prevents [people] from obtaining some non-res CCWs...
