Chilling. One's right to keep and bear arms can be nullified by the ravings of a vengeful ex-wife. Makes me sick.

Actually, the court held that the wife's allegations were sufficient only because the divorce court gave Dr. Emerson the chance to deny them, and he didn't.

My ex-wife makes me sick, too.  But the case at hand says that Emerson aimed a Beretta handgun at his ex-wife and daughter and pulled the hammer back.  He later told the cops he owned an AK-47 which he would use to shoot her boyfriend if he got the chance.

I don't favor taking guns away just because a restraining order was obtained (most of 'em are bogus anyway), however, when some bozo does what Emerson did I'd say jail time and "de-gunning" might be in order.

Very very Chilling. Says something about choosing your spouse very, very carefully in this modern age.

Especially when your very livelihood hinges upon your right to keep and bear arms.

Something to think about before you hop into her bed or say "I Do."
