I am really sorry to hear this. I'm glad your are okay.
I can empathize.

Not what you want to hear, but you have a responsiblity to yourself. You have the right to be safe. You have a right to be happy.

Her "mood swings" can be controlled by hormone replacement therapy IF she wants to control it. She has probably been brainwashed by all the stupid, "Don't get replacement therapy you'll get cancer and die," crap that is out there. My wife had that surgery done 20 years ago and has been taking her little pills ever since. As she puts, never let her run out of pills or cigarettes. And I believe her...

My Fellow Kentuckian !!!!!

MAN ! I just caught this ! Let me give you my 2 cents sir ! When me and the little lady wasn't getting along she threaten to take out a false EPO on me ! Well needless to say the sheriffs will take all your weapons & your permit ! And there is no telling when you will get them back !

She was goin' to go downtown saying I hit her etc. REMEMBER all they have to do is scratch themself ! Arm etc. & when a police officer sees this guess who is going to JAIL ! YOU my friend !!!!

Anyway what you need to do is :

Go to Wal Mart, K- Mart or borrow one of those Mini Micro Cassette Recorders & when EVER she gets around you turn that baby ON !! These are small enough to fit in a shirt pocket.

Or you can tape your incoming phone calls they have the adapter @ Radio Shack I think they run about $ 23 best $ you will spend ! You may want a " shoe box type " cassette recorder & the best place to get that would be K-Mart.

Sorry to be so long winded !
But I'm just trying to cover a fellow KY. brothers back !!

If you have any questions about the above e-mail me I live in Lou. !!

Anyone live near our Friend Kentucky?

Maybe go visit and keep him company,watch his six, be a witness, bring in some eats.

I'd also get something documented. Call the po-po, a friend in LEO, catch the attorney at home ,somebody, all of these.

Get KR's version on record FIRST!

get an attorney, get a restraining order on her, and do it fast. Before she does the same to you and you lose your guns and permit. It is a shame that a woman can get a RO easier than a man, but i would not put it past her to do, seeing that she knows you are a passionate gun owner.

Come over to the right side of the River (Indiana) We always welcome more people like you. She can stay over there in Louisville with the other crazies.

Holy crap, Will.

I'm so sorry to hear about all of the difficult things you're having to face. I wish I were closer to you. It's absolutely deplorable to steal your guns, especially.

I'll be sending you an email. Please know that if you have to bug out, you've got friends to the West. It doesn't matter where you go in that Bonanza (V-tail?) -- it's probably a really good idea to get out of there.

God be with you, Will.

Kentuckyrifle,

I've got tears in my eyes reading about this situation. I've followed your posts from time to time on here, and you strike me as a good an intelligent man - but I'm not sure you're thinking this through.

This is a deadly serious situation, and from what you've said you're the only one in a fit state to be even remotely rational about it. Even then, you'd rather be shot down like a dog than draw iron on a loved one, and I understand that.

You need to move, chap. Now. Abscond yourself from this situation before anything exothermic happens, if you take my meaning. You can do this rationally - your ex can't. It's not her fault, it's not your fault - It Just Is. Laws and restraining orders and the like - they don't mean a thing to a person who's out of control, as this poor lady seems to be.

In your situation, I'd alert the authorities, mention the instability, make sure they take it seriously - then find a good friend a long, long way away. Because if she's chasing you - as ringing all night, and turning up when you're there to wave steel in your face would imply - you have to become unfindable to her.

It's terrible, it's horrible and I hate to see a man in this state - gh0d knows we're the weaker sex when it comes to this. I hope you see the sense in what I'm saying, because this is a double-flameout on the deck, mate. The only thing you can do is punch out.

Best wishes, man.

I am very sorry that you are going thru this, but perhaps you can look at this bad situation as a proverbial "kick in the pants" to completely change your life for the better. If you think the offer of partnership in the new gunshop is viable, jump on it and head for sunnier climes as soon as possible. This female stalker of yours sounds seriously unstable and whatever legal protection you seek might incite her to a higher, more dangerous level manic behavior. A protection order will not stop a bullet. Time to get outta Dodge and leave this chick with a gun behind. I hope it works out for you and I thank the gods that my beautiful woman aint crazy(yet) and aint into guns! Keep us informed friend...

Kentuckyrifle,
If the only thing holding you there is your firearms collection, its not worth hanging around for! Just like money and beer-they'll make more. I'm more concerned about your attitude than your weapons collection by far.

Being a 4 tour vet, you KNOW whats important, so don't think you're not. If you can't function correctly for yourself right now, do it for those who think kindly of you.

Get yourself outta that situation just as fast as your feet can carry you, and you really need to get with someone you trust a lot and talk this out. You have bigger issues running around in your head than maybe you realize. You owe it to yourself.

As good a thread as this is I smell a troll. Ticks, yuk. You're killing me.

As much as I like the song "Funeral for a Friend" KR, I don't want to be seeing or hearing about another one here for a loooooooog time.

Gotbass,
Don't even start that here. Will is NOT a troll -- never has been and never will be. I see that you're new here. I don't want to come across as rude, but can you try to be a little more considerate of the situation?

I'm sure that I, and all of the other friends of Kentucky Rifle, would appreciate it if you followed the age-old adage: If you don't have something productive to say, don't say anything at all.

K-Rifle, if that exodus to Florida becomes a necessity...

There are two spare bedrooms in this GI's beachside house near Cocoa Beach. Seriously. The fridge is always full, folks are friendly, and the VA hospital isn't far away. We just lost Labgrade, that's more than enough for 2004.

Kentuck,
My ex had periods just like that after her "H" surgery. Talk about hysterical. I feel yer pain in a way. I also made the decision to teach her to shoot early on when things were rosy. She's a dang good shot too. She decided one day my guns were hers too and decided to come get 'em. I had a friend take them for awhile. She finally got her patch thing down to the point where she no longer goes berserker (she is norwegian). She also got a boyfriend to take care of certain needs which really helped out everyone, him, her AND me... the old saying was true in my case as to what she really needed, and it wasn't anymore of me.
Do the RO/EPO thing, see about getting yer things back via the Law, head to Florida and jump into that new shop with both feet. Change yer name to Florida Firestix, (the artiste formerly known as Kentucky Rifle) and enjoy them golden years listening to young whippersnappers ask stupid questions about gunz and things. Shucks, that almost sounds like too much fun.
Check yer six. Often. Hang tough.

Well said Wes .... I am appalled that a new poster should make such an accusation.

KR is a long established and respected member here ..... I am saddened Gotbass by reading your insensitive and extremely discourteous remark.

KR ... I feel for you - not thru personal experience directly but pure empathy, amplified by age!. You have had much good advise ... but I can see within what you have said that 26 years and even an apparent personality change .. has not stopped you loving the woman of your life ... as was anyways.

I can tell you .. you would potentially have a 101 ''bolt holes'' available thru your friends here on THR - should you so need them .... watch your six very closely ... and maybe try and get away. For a break at least.

Good luck to you .... and keep us in the frame eh.

KR,

I'm fairly new here, and in LE (I've noticed you don't hold us in high regard), so take this for what you will:

The EPO can be done at anytime, 24/7, at 6th & Jefferson (Hall of Justice). Yes, they get taken out on women all the time. If you feel that strongly that she's gonna do something, please file a criminal complaint. After you do that, it's in the hands of the judge/attorneys.

If an EPO is granted by a judge, you'll have a hearing within 2 weeks to discuss the complaint. In the mean time, the judge may grant several things to you, including a "no-contact" order on her part. This means that she will not be able to contact you in ANY way, including via phone/email/etc. If she violates this order, then it will be considered "contempt of court", and she will be arrested. An EPO may also relieve her of any firearms that she may have, if so ordered by the judge. She would then be instructed to turn them over to the sheriff's office, or face contempt charges.

Now, that being said, an EPO is merely a piece of paper. I've seen way too many people in here for violation of an EPO. But, it may help you down the road. Also, keep in mind that the EPO is NOT in effect until she is served. When she is served will depend on when the deputies from JCSO can find her. I know that protective orders are to be served immediately, so there's that...I see them served all the time where I work, so I know they get there fairly quick.

Again, I'm pretty new here, mainly a lurker, but I hope the info helps....especially since I'm in LE, and don't know anything about the law.

Maybe Gotbass was talking about him/herself. He/She didn't specify that KR was the troll...

Hey It's the best reason I can think of for a new poster to make a comment like that.

gotbass, welcome to THR. You just made a ton of new friends.

This is the nicest forum you will ever encounter. The mere fact that you're still around after insulting a very respected long time member should be proof of that. But please don't mistake kindness for stupidity. Thefumegator gave you some very wise advice.
