Do we live by laws in our society today?  As our Supreme Court rules on an

individuals rights regarding the privilege to hold and have or  use a  Gun,

when that individual has been found Guilty of a Domestic Violence Charge;

it seems the majority of citizens care more than our representatives and

those elected to office to protect us and enforce those laws.  I speak from

the actual experience of one who has voiced an opinion in the highest of

places and the lowest of places.  This opinion is in fact based on one individual

who does carry a concealed weapon.  Today, walks among us in a crowd and

drives on our highways and goes in our movies and restaurants with the

casual knowledge he will not be stopped.  Just what if, this individual gets

mad and has an attack of bad judgement, or lacks the ability to control himself

in one of these places we frequent with our love ones and friends.  He decides

in a split second to pull that weapon and shoot to hurt, harm or kill anyone

who opposes his opinion.  I stand up and say, I have and will continue to

contact and write about this and publish to all who could possibly be in

harms way of another of these individuals who have been charged, convicted,

sentenced and  yet has the ability to obtain a gun.   I speak not of a gun for

hunting as a recreation, but a gun because an individual has anti-social

behavior disorders which give them the ability to feel as a super power.

I have lived with such and I have seen such a person who feels its okay and

for whatever reason he is comfortable with, committing battery on a woman.

In most domestic/family violence episodes where guns are involved, they

tend to happen in a moment of passion or rage.  Few people plan in advance

to shoot their wife, husband, boyfriend, or girlfriend or any other family

member.  Instead these social crimes are of an instant nature. 

Could the number of violent crimes against women/men be reduced significantly

if the laws were upheld?  I do not intend to be silent with regard to this matter.

One simply has to visit a shelter for women and children escaping abuse, to

feel the fear they live with every moment.  Fear this person is going to find

them, and kill them.  These are serious times we live in. Our laws should be

serious laws and those elected or hired to enforce these laws should take

them serious.  Look in the paper, turn on the television, and you will see

everyday, how many families are destroyed by someone who in the past

has previous history for domestic abuse.  Guns are available to anyone

who wants its bad enough, I know.  But if we made it just alertly harder to

legally obtain a gun, perhaps the numbers would change.  Our laws dictate

processes which should in all cases be followed.  In all  states in this country

your background should be checked and rechecked.  If you can not receive

a permit legally in Louisiana, you certainly should not be able to go to

Florida and get one.  But in today’s society, this happens daily.  I shall show

you Louisiana Court Documents, which prove, without a doubt a person,

has been charged, rightfully convicted, sentenced and common knowledge

that his probation was dependent upon him not having a gun and attending

mandatory Anger Management/Domestic Violence training.  This individual

carries today Legally,  in the state of Louisiana a gun everywhere he goes.

He has a concealed weapons permit legally, and a private investigators

license issued by the state of Louisiana.  As I attempt to educate these

officials who have given him his permit and license to his true nature and

the possibilities which exist with his personality, no one cares.

With each and every turn, I am told, Its not our department; its not my

job to enforce the laws;  its not my job to check to see if this person has

something in his background which makes illegal to carry a weapon; its not

this department that cares; I just give the permit; I just give the license;

its the State Police who issue and are responsible for finding and telling

me to issue the license.  Contact them!  Surprise, no one cares there either.

No one cares until someone gets killed.  This is where it should begin.

Someone should care,  if for no other reason,  than my tax dollars go to pay

to insure that you care and do your job.  We’ll just give another grant for

another shelter to be built in order to protect those individual families

from someone who looks upon this as a never ending problem and one

of which is overwhelming the police.  As a mother of one of those policemen

who finds himself in harms way by going to the rescue of an individual

who has cried out for help from that split second motion, I am appalled

that my son or your son or your husband could be placed in such a

vulnerable position, he never knows if the other party, the attacking

party,  has a gun.  He does however know, if he has prior history of

violence or a conviction on his record.  Could it save my sons life if

the laws were upheld by the states and the state men and above all by

those who we trust to do their job.  I fear for myself, my son, my daughter,

your son, daughter, husband, any family member not just in our

policing industry but in our families. This is where it should end, but

will it?

The documents are of simple public record open to anyone and everyone.

I say nothing here that is not part of the opens records law.

I will pray for the next woman or child or police officer found in harms

way and pray that our government take serious action to deter these

guns from getting legally into wrong hands.
