"You DO have a right to a life free from violence and the threat of violence. We hope you will contact any resource that you need to protect your safety and well-being."
Well, we can certainly agree with their first sentence. They just don't get it that that necessarily includes the right of a woman to self defense. And, that's real defense ... not their version of happy thoughts.
And, we all hope that those 'resources' will include the local gun shop, a good CCW instructor, some appropriate books on firearms / defense, and the local shooting ranges.
For example, check out a 'Sunshine Gun Law' from my good friend Alan Korwin:
"§ DOMESTIC ABUSE INTERVENTION PROGRAM
This offers free defensive shooting training for any woman or man who has obtained a court order of protection against another person. Includes free loaner gun and supply of ammunition. Anyone protected under such an order is declared exempt from any firearm waiting periods, as previously guaranteed under the Brady law (18 USC §922 (s)(1)(B), GLOA p. 164), for people who are under a recognized serious threat. Any attempt to renew the Brady waiting period should include the exemption for anyone in a life threatening situation. A court order of protection automatically qualifies for such exemption." He has also proposed a presumption of justifiable homicide if a person subject to a restraining order ('stalker') is killed by the 'stalkee' within the distance limits of the restraining order. Now, there's a law with some teeth. See http://www.bloomfieldpress.com/sunshin.htm .
Miss D, don't get me wrong - chili bake off's are a great idea [I do love chili ].
IMHO, the bottom line for this is typical for liberal causes - it really doesn't matter whether the solution works ... it only matters how it makes us feel.
The misguided souls on TFL are actually looking for practical approaches to life. Boy, are we confused ...
Miss D, thanks for bringing this to our attention. Stay tuned for 'Mothers Arms', friends. Women need to wake up on this issue - soon.
