This came from Walkingthefield in another thread and I thought I'd help him with his request... Dazed,
I'll just echo a few points that others have already made.
1.) I'd let the police know that he is stalking your home at night. Get a restraining order if you can. If not the police may just "drive by" your house a little more often to "check things out".
2.) The recomendation to get a gun. I don't know how familiar you are with firearms handling. Just for the sake of arguement I will assume no one in your immediate family (WW, DD, or You) has familiarity with this. If this is true, I do not recommend getting a firearm.
If you are familiar with firearms handling then you probably know what the major concerns are.
[color:"red"] BTW: I do not intend for this to be a thread hijack. If someone whats to question me on my comments please start a new thread and I'll answer those questions there. [/color]
I grew up in a military / hunting family. I have been around firearms my entire life. My W grew up in a hunting family. She has been around firearms her entire life.
One of my best friends is a very skilled gunsmith and has obtained a class III firearms license.
I have a great deal of respect for what firearms can do. As our (W & I) fathers before us [color:"red"] at the age of 12 we gave our DD a rifle and safety / gun ettique lessons on how to handle it. We will do the same for all of our children. [/color]
Firearms come with a lot of responsibility. Mishandled firearms are DEADLY dangerous. All family members know the rules of safe handling in our household.
BTW: I hope court went well for you yesterday. I really expect that she will make her choice soon. Personnaly I'm hopeing for the fairy tale ending.
Stay Strong!

The character of a person is defined by their actions...not their intentions. Otherwise, the world would be full of Saints.

Hmmm... nothing like telling the kids of our future that guns don't kill people, people kill people. Of course, the gun does help a lot.
