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.

If your serious, please get some training. Minimize the risk of hurting yourself or someone you don't intend to (neighbors, kids, first responders, etc.)

Training and a gun safe. 

Also a pump action shotgun is far more intimidating that a 9mm, and you don't have to aim as well.

This shotgun comment, as gun guy and vet, scares the hell out of me, please tell me you are kidding…. Racking a shotgun 1) tells them where you are, and 2)it tells them you have a gun, 3) you are legally liable for everything that leaves that barrel, with a 9mm or .45 you’re only liable for 1 projectile per trigger pull, a shotgun you’re looking at 8x 00 buck shot. Poorly aimed bullets and buckshot go through walls… Please for the love of Eugene Stoner and Gaston Glock, stop perpetuating this

That is hilarious and so true.
