    My heart goes out to you. That’s a really tough but ultimately good decision to put as much distance between you and a firearm. We need you, my friend.

    Firearms aren’t for everyone which is where there are many decent alternatives.

    Personally, I am a fan of home pepper gel spray. Unlike other things (like a pepper pistol, or taser, or knife), you can empty the canister on the offending person and if they manage to wrestle it from you somehow, it will be empty and they can’t do anything to you with it.

      Thank you very kindly. It is a battle to be sure, but a battle I am winning.

      Maybe I can go duel pistol mode LOL. Launcher in one hand and pepper jell in the other!

      Nah in all seriousness I wonder if the best thing would be is to pelt the door with the pepper balls and then spray with gel if they break the door down. We got meth heads squatting next to us and it is definitely a little scary. I know people tweaking can withstand a lot, but at least if they can’t see it would give us time to do what we need to do.
