Politics aside, she is denied use of her weapon either way. Instead of it being locked up at home its locked up on her person. 6 in one and half dozen in the other.

I am not advocating that one does things illegally but... hate that but thing! If one truly feels there is somebody who specifically wants them dead, maimed, etc. they, in my opinion need to take all reasonable measures to ensure that they return home. ULCC is one of those tools. I did it for years and thanks to this website and persistance managed a LTC. If memory serves me correctly, I think there is an exception to being allowed to carry concealed if the threat is eminent. Some of the legal eagles on this site I'm sure has the dope on that.
Other thoughts, I would not be crazy about my Mom carrying unless she 1. was trained and reasonably proficient 2.) Knows the law and can "Mom Up" if she has to deal with consequences. Bear in mind, Here in the Golden State it going to cost lots and lots of real gold even in a "good shoot". |

A good shoot is a shoot that saved her life! Who cares what it costs! A good shoot does not nessesarily cost money. A DA will look at the evidence, make a determination about the event and decide from there. What's important is that "Mom" is not a dead person. |

Fourth: I am the first to admit Mom could very well be my mental superior... mine was!

Leave the state.
Ditto.
Can anyone reading this thread imagine that the allegedly crazed cop in question is ever unarmed? That his situational awareness is inferior to the woman's? That his muscle memory is less well-engrained than hers? That he would know how to use a smaller variety of weapons, including both contact weapons (knife, etc.) and distance weapons (handgun, shotgun, and rifle)? I'm not suggesting that she should not prepare or fight back. However, her best bet is to leave the state and move to one where he has no jurisdiction, no law enforcement buddies, and little or no means of influencing the law enforcement system to his advantage. This might sound impractical. But she would be better off using lethal force against him in another state than if she were to do it here--assuming she has all the things she'd need to win a fight with him (armed or unarmed). Why do I advocate going to this length to ensure her safety? Too many people in the system have too much willingness to give the alleged perpetrator the benefit of the doubt just because he is an LEO--despite reasons not to do so, which they conveniently ignore. Disagree with me about this? The exception to this proves the rule.

^ This.
Sometimes you need to recognize when you're playing a bad hand, fold, and go on to the next one. It sucks, it feels like letting the bad guys win and goes against every instinct of my being, but the most important thing is your mom's safety. If the situation is as the OP says[1], the cards are too stacked against her. If she stays and chooses to carry a weapon, I see one of three things happening: 1) She doesn't need it. If she carries illegally, she runs the risk of legal penalties. 2) She needs it and attempts to use it in self defense, against someone who's stronger and better trained. Somewhere on page twelve the next day is a small article about a retired police officer having to shoot their ex in self-defense, possibly even with a quote about how this tragedy would never have happened without all these guns out there in our communities. 3) She needs it and uses it successfully in self-defense. Congratulations, she's now shot a retired police officer. She does have a documented history of reported threats and violated restraining orders, which is something. But pretty much everything else about the situation as the OP describes it is stacked against her. At best it's going to take a pile of money (which the OP says they don't have) to keep her from going to jail for a very, very long time. Leave, and live to fight another day. (If she really does want to take up the fight, be a spokesperson for carry rights... or perhaps, as another poster said, a plaintiff.) -g [1] If there's one thing I've learned in my time on this planet, it's that there are two sides to every story. I hope you understand, OP, that I don't know you and I don't know the situation. So I'm giving you my 2c based on the presumption that everything you've said is true and there really isn't another side to it... |

OP - you should also keep in mind that "self-defense" is an affirmative defense to a charge of murder.
But suggestions to move far away are pretty good, too.

With all due respect...
if moving away is already impractical... how is planning a possible gunfight against a retired LEO (assuming he is complete inept and she is a skilled marksman) and then win against the following murder charges anymore practical? |

There is training and then there is training. I have been shooting handguns from the age of four. That was sixty years ago. Te best training I ever got was from my elders. But I have still learned a thing or three from formal training. On the other hand the last LTC mandatory refresher I took was a joke. You cannot line up 64 people at once on a firing line with one instructor and two assistants and get much training done. At best they can keep the few truly uninitiated from shooting someone. One ‘student’ had to be ejected for repeatedly covering others. He is going to have to get some help with his safety habits and re-take the course. This was after four hours of instruction on safety rules.

Ever heard of a "need to know basis?" Some trusted ones need to know. Most others do not. Maybe "some" people have never been backed into a corner where you have nothing but the safest (and most practical) alternative available to them. But until you have been in that spot - and by your quote above:

Her only realistic option is to move. Since he's an ex-LEO, he will be able to find out where she moves to as long as it's somewhere in the US, so she'll either have to move out of the country or to someplace in the US where it doesn't matter that he knows she's there -- a state with very strong self-protection laws and no real restrictions on carry.
Even after she moves, she'll need to buy a firearm and get very proficient in its use. If she stays here, the outcome will be either that she winds up dead or she winds up being a convicted murderer. Because the guy's an ex-LEO, the chance of the mom winning the resulting criminal proceedings are likely to be very slim. No, much better for her to get out now, while she still can. She'll otherwise likely either wind up dead or wind up in prison with a life sentence.

Ok, so he was served today. He has 24 hours to turn in his guns. Unfortunately it seems the judge did require a proof of sale be filed with the court.
my mom is going to call Covina PD (his local PD) and ask if they have any proof he sold or turned in his guns. My question: how the hell can we get proof he no longer has them now? Also I doubt his guns are on the roster, will he be able to get them back if he gives them to his dad out of state? He has to go through an FFL for and interstate transfer correct? |

Perhaps the order will be complied with, perhaps not. The problem with ROs is that they're only effective until they're not: their efficacy is sometimes proven less than desired in tragic ways.
Like the old street racing adage "there's no replacement for displacement", it's likewise generally true that "there's no replacement for physical separation." -Brandon

1.) OP should show his mom how to load and unload the gun safely/correctly/appropriately, make sure she practice with live rounds and no rounds. give her a week and then ask her: "mom, are you 100% confident in your ability and are you scared at all of the gun?" If she answers incorrectly to either, give her some more time to practice and get more comfortable and ask her again untill she answers both correctly. 2.) Op should take his mom to the range and teach her to shoot the gun and hit a life size target, i would suggest at 7 yards. Assuming the OP knows how to shoot, he should be able to see when his mom is competent and comfortable enough on the trigger 3.) Op should explain the self defense law to his mom. Have her understand the "concept" of "only use the gun if you feel like your life is in immidiate danger". He needs to make sure that she understand the concept, when to properly use the gun and have her explain to him in her own word to make sure that she fully gasp the concept and isn not just repeating what was told to her. Also throw in the LUCC laws too. Those are the 3 steps i have taken and used for people who want to learn about guns and self defense. I usually start with step 3 first, however, either orders will work perfectly fine. You just have to use common sense sometime, no need to anyone else to make a checklist for you on this one. Chances are that if you feel that someone isnt ready, they probably arent. However, if you taught them well and you have confidence in them, they are probably ready.

Update: kind of off topic but this is what we are dealing with and why I advocate for this so much.
So my mom got a new domestic violence restraining order out against my dad. He had 24 hours to turn in his guns or sell them to an FFL, this was 3 days ago. We went to glendora PD and told them west Covina PD won't help us at all. Glendora told us they need proof he was served in person before anything can be done. We spent 2 hours tracking down a copy of the proof of service to show he was served in person, we ended up at the pamona court house by west Covina PD. Once we got that we went to WCPD and asked to see an officer, we waited for 4 hours. We told the officer what was going on, that he is in violation of the court order. He took down my dad's phone number and called him. After about another 15 minutes of waiting he came back out and talked to us. He said my dad is coming down to turn in his guns and he is going to give us a report number. I told him we want my dad charged, this is now his 6th violation of a court order and nothing has yet to happen to him. The officer told us they were not going to charge him because "a violation of a court order is nothing." however his next sentence he said we can have him arrested if he comes to our house. I showed him the part in the restraining order that says if violated its a 1k fine and/or one year in jail. The officer just shrugged. He then tried to say our order isn't a domestic violence order, even though it says it at the top. He then said it's not an emergency protective order even though the judge issued it as an emergency because of threats towards my mom. He then tried to say it's because the misdemeanor wasn't committed in his presence even though my dad admitted to not turning them in. He also said he talked to his watch commander about what to do. I told him my dad has threatened to kill my mom and has threatened to shoot me on multiple occasions. I said "what does he have to f*cking kill my mom and have me sue you before you'll do anything?" He was offended more by me saying f*ck over anything else. (I know I have no legal ground to sue them, they have no obligation to protect us. I just banked on the fact he didn't know that lol) After twenty minutes of arguing with him I told him to just give me the police report and we'll leave, he then said there will not be a police report, it will just be considered a field interview.... I asked why he wasn't writing a report, he responded with "because the violation is nothing!" I then reminded him that this is what we were told the 5 other times. I said "had officers taken a report the five other times you could look at that and think to yourself hmmm maybe I should do something." He didn't like that. Best part, that moron told my dad to come down, with his guns, and he walked up while we were trying to get him arrested. West Covina PD is useless. |

How often in her life has law enforcement checked her purse.
She is responsible for her safety as are you if you are a devoted son. She should carry discreetly and you should also when with her. Especially if this guy is X LEO and has history of violence. Train her with appropriate arm for her. Why would anyone in their right mind suggest any different. The LA Police and Sheriff are the people who shut down gun sales during the "Rodney King riots". |

Between a rock and a hard place.
Quote:
Two scenarios seem likely if she succeeds in enlisting the help of the media. 1) It will intimidate the former LEO and bring "off the record" pressure from his LEO peers, prompting him to back down. 2) It will enrage him, make him antagonize her more, and it may possibly make him snap and finish her off, with the perp throwing all caution to the wind, regardless of potential circumstances. #2 seems a bit unlikely. Before moving your mom out of the state, I myself would probably try to get the media involved. Try KNBC. This station seems to be the most sympathetic to the kind of story you have to tell. And remember, to them it is just a story. So substantiate every claim the best you can with witnesses and evidence. Good luck to OP and the alleged victim. I don't envy your predicament.

Are you a protected person listed on the RO? If not have the "victim" make the report. The previous officer's actions of calling the suspect and the guns then being turned in late completes the elements of the crime of possession in violation of the order. The DA may not file the case but the police do not have the option of not making and or seeking an arrest if probable cause exists.

And RO's are not worth the paper they are printed on. And the suspect will not do time if convicted. So really you and your mother should be focusing on real world solutions like being where he cannot locate her or her place of work in addition to real self defense training and options.
