I would do everything everyone here has said. I do believe in guns....but only to those who both know how and are willing to use them. Otherwise someone completely innocent stands a very good chance of getting hurt instead.

The law is BS...get a restraining order but realize that it is only a piece of paper and will provide you with the same amount of protection as one.

Large dogs are a good idea but they are living, breathing, feeling animals. Are they willing to take on an animal that may be pretty strong and not good with small pets or children? How about the vet bills? do they have a good fenced yard? etc etc. A dog isn't "an answer" ...it is a big commitment.

a good alarm system as also a good idea.

Get in good with the neighbors and have them watch for you as well. Use all eyes you can get.

Good luck and frankly I don't think you are being paranoid here....you are being realisitic.
Weedhound Reviewed by Weedhound on . Quite a serious issue here... hey all, I am needing some input on this situation. I called my folks today just to bullshit. They live about an hour away from me in a small town. Now, backtrack a bit: About 6 years ago, my mothers brother (not blood, both adopted) got sent to prison. He had been involved with some pretty serious stuff involving hard drugs and prositutes. I don't want to go into details as he is a head sick man and he hurt a lot of people. He included betraying his own mother by using her credit, Rating: 5
