Unless of course you open your front door with the business end of a firearm... and who does that?
Civilised society continually forgets (or deliberately ignores) that humanity's default setting is barbarism.
Not true entirely. She should have known her ex was a dirt bag. She probably knew he was a threat. In the U.S. she could have bought a pistol for protection, got some training in defensive tactics and been very aware of her surroundings. Had those things happened this may have turned out differently. It may not have either. But it would increase the odds even if by a small percentile of her surviving that encounter.
