I found this very interesting. The woman apparently disarms the man attacking her and defends herself (the exact reverse of what many anti's say women who defend themselves with firearms will suffer), yet is charged with the possession of the gun she used to defend herself in her own home.
I wonder if this is the whole story. (I wish there were more in the paper...) SO much for restraining orders, as well.
