Often she may not even know how many guns are in the house, and you can bet that if the police officer asks her if there is a gun in the house, she won't tell him because she's afraid the violence will escalate as soon as he's out the door.
Parfois elle ne sait même pas s'il y en a, et on peut parier que si le policier lui pose la question, elle ne lui dira pas s'il y en a, de crainte que la violence ne reprenne de plus belle une fois que le policier aura quitté la maison.
