What you describe should be read. Read again. And again. This is, sadly, the truth of our society. Does it really need to take a personal experience like this to realize why these red flag laws are needed? That experiences such as yours are happening, that they are prevalent, and that red flag laws can save lives?

Years ago, a friend of mine told me that she had left her husband. As I listened, she told me that she was scared. Scared of him. Of what he might do.

A few days later, some of us, including this friend, were getting together. Most of us were already there, sitting next to a big picture window facing the parking lot. This friend pulled in, and as she got out of her car, she didn’t realize that her husband had followed her. As we sat there, talking, we didn’t see him pull in. We didn’t see him get out of his car. We only heard. What we heard the shot he fired as he pointed his gun at her and killed her.

At her funeral service, her brother told me that he felt like he should have been able to help her. . . I felt the same way.

We need red flag laws.
