A Florida woman's effort to protect herself from domestic violence has become a flashpoint in the debate over gun rights and victims' safety.

Courtney Irby gave her estranged husband's guns to police after he was charged with domestic violence-aggravated battery, only to find herself arrested for theft.

Courtney Irby spent six days in jail on charges of armed burglary and grand theft after she retrieved the assault rifle and handgun from her husband's apartment and gave them to the Lakeland Police. Joseph Irby was spending one day in jail at the time, accused of ramming into her car after a June 14 divorce hearing.

Courtney Irby told police that she believed he wouldn't turn in his guns himself, so she took action. According to her arrest report, she said she entered her husband's apartment through a locked door without his permission and took the guns to a police station.“Yes, I am but he wasn't going to turn them in so I am doing it,” the officer said she responded.that it's “ridiculous” to arrest a woman in this kind of situation.

Were the local police going to confiscate the weapons? hardly likely!

Americans truly are 🥜 🥜 ‘s 🙄

Alabama-'lets completely screw women over.' Florida-'hold my beer'

Oh America, Canada's twisted sister.

Florida is one fcked up place!

She stole his guns.

Are we really surprised, Florida is Trump stomping ground and we all know what he thinks of women!

The American government is failing its citizens. This is another example of how distorted their gun laws and views are and why I will not cross the border for any reason until real and meaningful GunControl is in place

This scenario is totally surrealistic. The interpretation and application of the law by the local police seems to me warped beyond reason.

Only in America. America is hopeless.
