Pennsylvania Republican lawmaker takes out restraining order on another Republican lawmaker after he pulls a gun on her. WTF Pennsylvania?

Courtesy of AP: 

A Pennsylvania state lawmaker who says a fellow lawmaker pulled a gun on her and threatened to kill her has gotten a restraining order against him. 

State Rep. Tarah Toohil alleges that fellow Republican Rep. Nick Miccarelli pointed a gun at her in 2012 and on another occasion, when the two were in a car, warned he would crash the vehicle while speeding 100 mph on a highway, The Citizens’ Voice reported . 

A Luzerne County judged granted the restraining order Friday, barring Miccarelli from contacting Toohil and prohibiting him from possessing firearms. 

He has not been charged with any crime and denies the allegations. He called them “complete fabrications” in a March 1 Facebook post.

Toohil also claimed that Miccarelli pinched, kicked, and hit her, and even forced himself on her sexually.

Apparently the two had an affair at one point and this Miccarelli guy just got married, so this could just be a lover's spat and Toohil is making it all up.

Or it could simply be that Pennsylvania mating rituals involve a lot of domestic violence and gun play.

This, plus that Saccone guy, just insured the Pennsylvania gets added to my "Never going to visit" list.

    OMG.
    He is my representative.
    He is from a family of crooked politicians. His dad is ancient and this guy replaced daddy.
    Daddy came to a township meeting once and was so fucking addled by alzheimers and people were covering for him...it was kinda like the white house today.
    Jesus Christ. I didn't even know this. Thanks for posting Gryphen

    So she waited six years to file charges? Sounds like a woman scorned to me; she still carried on the relationship so the "I feared for my life" standard excuse is moot.

    Any man that pulls a gun on me, that's IT; we are DONE.
