THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN GOVERNMENTS RESTRICT THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS … NEW JERSEY WOMAN STABBED TO DEATH BY EX WHILE WAITING FOR GUN PERMIT.

39 year old Carol Bowne, a New Jersey hairdresser, feared for her life and the threat of domestic violence from her ex-boyfriend, 45 year old Michael Eitel. Carol Bowne sought to protect herself by getting a restraining order, installed security cameras and an alarm system to her home and began the long process of obtaining a handgun. Carol Brown was stabbed multiple times by Eitel in the driveway of her home Wednesday night in the 100 block of Patton Avenue in Berlin Township. Bowne was transported to Virtua Hospital in Berlin where she was pronounced dead a short time later. Michael Eitel was charged with her murder. Eitel, a convicted felon, is a fugitive and being sought by a U.S. Marshals Service.

This didn’t have to happen. Thanks to New Jersey’s restrictive gun laws, Carol Browne is dead. As reported at the Washington Free Beacon, Unlike most states, New Jersey’s restrictive gun laws require a permit to purchase a handgun of which the permit process can take several months to complete. Carol Browne could not simply buy a gun for her protection, the very equalizer of a petite female hairdresser against a crazed ex-boyfriend, convicted felon. Obviously, a retraining order means nothing, security cameras and an alarm system did nothing to protect Brown and the police cannot be everywhere at all times to protect people. Do ypu know what would have given Carol Brown a fighting chance … A Sig Sauer P238 ESP, a Rugar SR22, or a Rugar SR40.

The real story in this case is the fact that the State of NJ denied the victim, Carol Bowne, her Second Amendment right to bear arms.

Because New Jersey has restrictive laws to purchase guns, this woman could not buy the every form of protection that would have been the equalizer against her former ex-boyfriend and convicted felon. How is some one supposed to defend themselves with, a restraining order, a surveillance camera?

We never know whether if Carol Bowne had owned a gun she would be alive today, but we do know she would have had a fighting chance.

Although the article does say she was ambushed, you are so correct -- she didn't even have a fighting chance.

Bowne's husband died three years ago in a motorcycle crash and his friend - Eitel - stepped in for support.

But Bowne's friends say his protective nature quickly turned abusive and now authorities say deadly.

Police say Bowne had a protection from abuse order when she was killed.

"We had a problem about a month ago. He came and broke her car windows, broke windows in her house, and been stalking her," O'Hara said.

"I was scared for her all this time that she was having this problem and I think she hid a lot," friend Denise Lavallo said.

A source says there is a surveillance system at the home that captured the entire incident.

Agreed. It is the reason why I would never live in a state that restricts my rights to protect myself at all times and also why I live in one that would provide me access to have a carry/conceal permit. Amazing how a Glock42 and Sig Sauer P229 can provide person protection
