"No win situation"?

Survival when somebody is trying to kill you is a win. Some wins are better than others, but it sure beats the crap out of losing, especially when you are playing for keeps like that.

It surely would have dissuaded the ex and stopped the bullets also.

It is a piece of paper.

Its value is lost on those willing to break the law by shooting a persons without just cause.
Lawdog sez it so much better:

This case highlights the impotence of both our police force and courts.

A very good reason to be willing and able to protect and defend ourselves.
Take a gander at the times listed in the article: the cops were on scene ...... heard (some of) the shots .... and that helped...... how, exactly?

When you need help, the police are only minutes away ...... or they might be right outside ......and their help may still minutes away..... I can't say as I blame them, as their job is not to rush in and risk their lives to protect you: You are the only one who can or will protect you. Police officers are there to uphold the law and arrest folk that break it .....
