Several weeks ago, I offered this bit of pithy advice about restraining orders. The Dixie Chicks sung about it in "Goodbye Earl:"
"She finally got the nerve to file for divorce,
She'd let the law take it from there,
But Earl walked right through that restraining order,
And put her in intensive care."
Now comes this news story, which illustrates it. When a restraining order is issued, I believe that under Federal law, one cannot possess firearms. If the local Federal attorney takes this on, this guy will go away for ten years of federal time, irrespective of the time he does on the state charges.
Doesn't unshoot his wife, though.
