...or, Why are Anti-Gun People So Violent?
On Jan 2, 2011, Rep Barbara Mallory Caraway from Dallas District 110 and her husband, Dallas Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway, had a "domestic dispute" at their home over throwing away some aprons (!) that resulted in the Mayor locking himself in a game room, the Rep kicking the door and sticking a knife thru a crack in the door, and the Mayor calling the Dallas Police Chief directly for help.
The Chief sent over a Special Investigations Unit, and the Mayor had a chat with them in their car about the incident and his wife. Unbeknownst to the Mayor, the conversation was recorded. The newspapers caught wind of the deal, and have been in court to try to get the tape released. The Mayor opposed this (and at one point told the newspapers that the incident at his house was between "Arthur" and "Archie.") It went up to Attorney General Greg Abbott, who said the tapes were public records, and finally a judge just ordered them released.
The Mayor had some insightful comments about his wife, According to him she may have a "chemical imbalance, and "She sometimes can get in a fit of rage. .... and when she gets set off, everybody just gets out of the way."
No charges were filed.
Representative Barbara Mallory Caraway sits on the Homeland Security and Public Safety Committee, and voted against HB 750.

Then NOBODY can easily defend themselves against someone with a knife, much less against your crazy wife.
