Well, after my dad told my step mother he wanted a divorce she threatened to shoot him. He is almost completely deaf so we were worried about her coming up behind him when his hearing aids were out and shoot him.

He called the police, 4 police cars came and one even came in over the back fence and into their living room to arrest her. She stood trial and will never be able to own a handgun again. Oh well.

In Tennessee as long as you purchase your handgun at a trade show laws governing back ground checks do not apply. You might check your local laws on that. I'm not saying she wouldn't be prosecuted for illegal possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony but there are so many loopholes.

I've had a friend whose girlfriend struck him, then he fought back, then he went to jail.

If women are perpretrators of domestic violence and tries to attack their men, what's the best way for men to handle these animals without any violence? Could it be grabbing an arm, dodging or blocking attacks?
WOW! Another women bashing post by LAFan!!! Do you ever have anything positive to say about women??? I believe that the more you dwell on the negative aspects of women, the less likely you will ever be in a happy relationship with one. Start thinking positive thoughts about them!!!!! Seriously.

If I was constantly talking negatively about men like you do about women, I would still be chronically and permanently single and lonely. You are definitely a top candidate to run for the president of the He-Man Woman Haters Club.

And back on topic, if you ever have a girlfriend that tries to hit you, just run away from her as fast as you can. Don't try to defend yourself, just leave the situation and cut her out of your life. No one needs a girlfriend (or boyfriend) or drama like that in their lives, no matter how hot looking they are. But it's also further proof that no should never rush into having a relationship with someone until they really get to know them. And if they aren't worthy of being platonic friend material, then you sure as hell don't want them for a s/o.

A girlfriend of mine lives in Portland OR and she had a friend who pressed charges on his girlfriend for assault. He had scratch marks all up and down his back and chest and a giant bruise from the toaster she threw at him. She would up going to jail for it, getting fined and I believe is still on probation for it.

I personally could never physically injure my husband unless he put something very important where it didn't belong, if you get my drift.

I think I get your drift. You're saying,if he cheated on you,you would.

Would it be alright for a man to do the same,if his wife cheated on him?

I would definitely expect it! I'm a very equal person, if a woman punches like a man, she should expect to get punched back like a man. But for a man's own best interest he shouldn't punch a woman because he is a lot more likely to be put in jail. It's strange to me how in most instances men are expected to have less self control than women, but when it comes to domestic violence the man is expected to have more self control. Doesn't make too much sense.

I think we all should maintain the same amount of self control on all aspects.

I'm also a very equal person,but I partially disagree.
I don't think either sex ever has the right to take a swing at the other,except in self-defense.

I do agree though,that if a woman throws a punch,she should expect to get one back. (though being a nice guy,I'd probably give her a warning first.)

I think the law should change, because women are getting away with too many stuff if they're the perpretrators. If it was legal and a woman tried to attack me, I'll probably warn her on the first attempt. If she tries the second time and she happned to hit me, she should expect a punch or a kick in the face.
