Oh Lordy... so, Linda's gonna shoot the safari guy, some random person is going to shoot Linda, then someone else needs to shoot random person ...now that random person needs to be shot, and to infinity.... I might just get that parking spot after all.

Not to make light of these rants by the uneducated, but this is by far the best response to the story.

Of what value is a restraining order? None IMO.

Restraining orders and gun-free zones serve no other purpose than to give the justice system some teeth to lock people up, or lock them up longer, if they cross the line.

They do nothing to actually protect anyone, and have caused some good people to come to harm.

Instead of merely railing against the system, however, I'd like to propose some alternatives:

1. Ensure those who are stalked are armed and well-trained, should they so desire.

2. If not, give them a 3G/4G "panic button" they can keep in their pocket. If pressed, cops respond. AFTER they're on their way, dispatch calls the individual to confirm it's genuine. If they're under duress, they "confirm" they're ok with anything but the actual "I'm ok" code.

3. Get rid of the mindbogglingly stupid "gun-free" zones. They're magnets for both criminals and the criminally insane and a threat to everyone who has no option but to be there. Like students.

The value of the RO would be to inform the would-be swatter that there may be legal consequences if they falsely report criminal activity.

I would never suggest they it would actually stop them. But it might make them think about the consequences of their actions.

I would love to see cops responding to a MWAG call and after observing the calmly armed shopper, exit the store with the caller in hand cuffs.

Wouldn't you?

Sure would be nice! But ... It is doubtful many LEA's will be trying very hard to find them.
