If you feel threatened by someone, how long should you wait to get a temporary restraining order?

If somebody waits an entire month after the incident, isn't there something phony about that? That the person wasn't really afraid?

Makes it a lot harder to get one, for sure.
@MistyCee Nope. Someone took out a protection order against me and waited a month after the incident. He got the protection order easily.
@flipper1966 that sucks. Sounds like a lazy judge
@MistyCee Probably.
@MistyCee Now my Second Amendment rights have been infringed because under federal law I can't buy a gun for a 5 year period. And the order expired a year ago!!
@flipper1966 Sorry about the gun thing
