I don't know what you think the police are supposed to do if he's within his 2nd Ammendment rights.
Anyone care to defend his actions?

Protection from his rights?

Try putting words in my mouth much? For starters, I think the NRA sticker on my front door might have hinted to him that the rifle in hand might not accomplish the goal of intimidation he was probably going for.
My point is he had second amendment rights because he hadn't done anything wrong yet. The police couldn't have done a damn thing about it. A paper trail doesn't help a dead person.
uh, they weren't dead yet.

Ok let me rephrase, a paper trail doesn't PREVENT a murder.
true, true... but when you get a VPO put on someone, they can't have LEGAL access to firearms, correct?

Thanks. Of course that's a far cry from defending his actions.
yes, it's truly a tragic situation.

Sure, but you gotta look at it from the perspective of the legal gun owner too. What reason would they have for a protection order? He didn't do anything wrong until the day he did. You have to admit, the laws in place couldn't have done anything to prevent this.
Right. Could you imagine protection orders for everyone who felt uneasy around somebody? Doubt I could show up at work.
I would consider a very hostile encounter when he showed up with a rifle to complain about a game of RISK. And that not being the first time he tried his intimidation tactics with those people. I'm not sure how the rest of the folks living on that property dealt with him. According to them, he was a known dikhead

Ya, but in my state I can legally keep it in my car, even if the property owner prohibits it. Just sayin, it could be just a brisk walk away.
Personally I think it's irresponsible to leave a gun unattended in a car, but that's the law.
An order of protection has never required the presence of a firearm.

21 died for their faith. Butchered.
One of the Isis murderers said they were on their way to Rome.
What did the Pope say about Islam? And their response was: "Kill the Pope".

Ever heard of the charge of "menacing". With a firearm probably adds felony charges?
There was a guy walking down one of our main streets where I live and he was waving a handgun.
The police showed up and when ordered to drop the gun he raised it instead. That was his last day to breathe on earth.
the person that gets the VPO put on them in my state, cannot possess or purchase any firearm until the court date.
and if issued, cannot possess or purchase one until order is dismissed or expires.
