[A shooting range] shall not permit shooting at targets that depict human figures, human effigies, human silhouettes or any human images…
- M.G.L. Ch. 140, Sec. 131
Translation:
It is illegal to shoot at a picture of your (ex) wife, girlfriend or domestic enemy while at a shooting range.
This has got to be the most absurd excuse for domestic abuse I have ever heard of.
[Couple Accuse United Airlines...]
I hear all sorts of accusations of domestic abuse as a divorce attorney; more so when I used to work at Greater Boston Legal Services where we helped mostly victims of domestic violence. Getting drunk and beating your wife is actually not so new. But blaming the friendly skies for making you do it is a new one. What surprises me, and it shouldn’t (but maybe since I still am surprised, means that I’m not yet so jaded), is that the wife defends the husband and is suing the airline with him. This is a classic case of battered women’s syndrome but still, it’s sad.
