Guns aren’t the problem. People intending to do harm are. (r\/The_Donald)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nikki Goeser had her life turned upside down when someone, she identified as a stalker, pulled out a handgun and shot her husband. The shooter shot the husband in the head and then shot him again after he fell to the ground.<\/p>\n

Naturally, this caused panic in the bar and people reacted in response to this danger. The shooter, Hank Wise, walked towards the exit as if nothing out of the ordinary occurred. Others in the establishment detained him. He showed no interest in fighting them back.<\/p>\n

Hank Wise had some issues to deal with. He believed that his ex-girlfriend, and the shooting victim, were playing roles in making his life harder. He had an “above normal” interest in Nikki Goeser.<\/p>\n

The establishment, where the shooting took place, was a “gun-free zone”. Nikki Goeser had a concealed carry permit. However, she could not take her weapon into the establishment. She argues that red flag laws, had they been in place, risked eroding her ability to protect herself in the aftermath of the shooting.<\/p>\n

From The Washington Times:<\/span><\/p>\n

If a judge had ordered police to take away her firearm, deeming her a risk to herself or others, “for someone like me, that would have been trauma on top of trauma.”<\/p>\n

“Here I’m scared to death, I’m already concerned for my safety, and then to go and take my basic human right of self-defense away from me with no due process?” she said. “It’s pretty scary.”<\/p>\n

Since her husband’s death in 2009, Ms. Goeser has become a vocal Second Amendment advocate, working with John Lott Jr. at the Crime Prevention Research Center and writing two books. Her latest, “Stalked and Defenseless: How Gun Control Helped My Stalker Murder My Husband in Front of Me,” was released in November.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nikki Goeser was a part of the effort that resulted in the state loosening its gun-free zone laws. Hank Wise constructed a “chain of events” that reads like the thought process of a Dean Koontz novel character. This Tennessee Courts document<\/a> details testimony related to the events leading up to, and including, the shooting.<\/p>\n
