No. You should go to the police if you are being abused. If you kill him not matter what he has done, you will still be tried for murder.

No not at all but be careful to be very wise on where you keep this kind of a weapon and only use it in a case of emergency and use it wisely. Do not use it unless you have no other choice. No it is not okay to kill a husband after repeated abuse. It is best for you to get out and away from it and to file for divorce from him. This is the best way out of it. Killing him is not the answer hon. You need to get out NOW! Go to http://www.drphil.com and email him for help in this matter as well. PLEASE do not do anything drastic. Just pack your stuff and get out and away from there now! Once you are out do not look or go back to him. Is he really worth killing and going to jail over? Two wrongs do not make a right. Just do the right thing and get out. Here is the abuse hotline numner if you need someone to talk to. 1-800-799-7233

This is a tough one. As someone who studied criminal law let me tell you this. If you can prove domestic violence, that's a good thing. If you kill your husband, you damn sure better be able to prove self defense which is where the domestic violence comes into play. You have the legal right to protect yourself via any means neccessary to within a reasonable limit. If you feel your life is in danger, it would go down a justifiable homocide.

If she was using the weapon for self-defense from the attacker, another wards, only if she was being attacked. Otherwise, if she is repeatedly being abused physically or in that situation, she should call the police to have him arrested and get a restraining order against him. But, in some states, you would have to get a legal permit and training for a fire arm, such as a gun.
I don't think it would be okay to go out and kill anyone, but only if the person attacking you for self defense. You need to remove the evil one who is harming you by getting the help that you need.

Physical violence is never ok! It is ok to try to defend yourself! Unfortunately that is when you get hurt the worst! I have left twice with the clothes I had on with my children. And left silently. You are not only physically abused but psychologically annihilated which eventually would also happen with the kids. I can understand why a woman would go to that extreme. Ex partes do deter but do not prevent the abuse. It takes time for police to respond. And those moments are critical. You do what you have to do to survive. Hopefully you do.

No way!!! Your husband has some serious mental problems going on within himself. If he continues to abuse you, then go to a shelter for abused women or separate from him and escape to a place of safety. If he repeats abuse then you will have a hard time forgiving him and the mental stress will spread like a wild fire. Killing him would not be the answer. Just pack up and flee for the hills from where your help cometh from.

If it was done in the heat of the moment, and you can prove that it was done in self-defence, you could probably get off with a lighter sentence. A pre-meditated murder is never the best idea. It's a good idea to try to catch him in the act. Put up some cameras around the house, and once you get some proof, take it to the cops.

if she likes 3 hots and a cot to sleep on from the state.
The color orange does not look good on an attractive woman.
These abuse defenses rarely work. The least she would get would be manslaughter....still atleaset 9 years.

No i've been abused myself so i know what you're feeling , but two wrongs doesn't make a right. I know its hard to let go I'm having that probvlem myself , but is it right for you to mess your life up? you have to forgive an order to move on if you can't forgive and you're mad then your husband still got control over you. Thats what abuse is about, control.
