As the wife initiated it, she is to blame. But unless there are some circumstances that I can’t imagine, he idoes come off as a wuss.
Of course if he had done something, he would have to fight off charges of domestic abuse, but I’d hope that physically confronting your wife while she is trying to shoot your family would be excusable even in places outside of Texas. And even if isn’t, I’d rather live with those consequences than have to live with what he will be living with.
if we knew what the domestic calls were that the cops responded to in the past, it would help tell the whole story...
but if it was the mother who had he problems, she should have never been able to get to the gun, although she could have grabbed a knife just as easily...
