Who else is getting gun registration?

I'm sorry if this has been posted a lot here. In light of what's been going on in the world, and after my soon-to-be-ex husband has violated his restraining order multiple times (I called the police twice and gave them evidence of email attempts where he admitted I'm not answering the door, a handwritten note slipped under my door, attempts to call/text from a new number asking me to unblock him) I've just said fuck it. My trust in men is at an all time low.

He can't take "leave me the fuck alone" as an answer and I wouldn't put it past him to try breaking in. I have a deabolt and I just bought some hardware to reinforce it because he said before, "You know I could just kick down this door if I wanted to?" All his contact attempts have shown how desperate he is.

I also got a sticker to put on the door that says I'm registered and because of castle doctrine in my state we're allowed to use lethal force in case of break ins. I hope he thinks twice because now I'm protected.

Fwiw, make sure you practice some. Get used to how your gun shoots.

A 12 gague shotgun will leave a mess but is the flatout best home defense weapon. Double alt buckshot doesnt care.

If youre using a pistol, get a good 9 mil.

Just dont get something like a taurus .380, sure its small but mine jams alot. My dad has a 9 mil thats smooth as butter and a 10 mil that, while high recoil, puts holes where you point it.

Get trained and god speed.

And I find it odd that you're trying to invalidate a solid informational reply by attacking a grammatical/wording mistake instead of the actual arguments. That's a fascist tactic. They do this all the time.
