thank you guys. this info is helpful. i have everything documented (even emails that other providers' have sent me of her harassing them). i'm gonna go and save all the ads that she's been posting now. and i think i'll write out some thoughts as well. all my guns are all registered (legally) to me. i'm familiar with the weapons laws here. i usually go to the range once a week, maybe twice if i'm having a stressful week. what i need to do is have some security cameras installed i think. i wasn't worried about it too much because the city has one of those 'crime cameras' pointed towards my house, but i saw something on the news yesterday that made me loose faith in those. (some of em aren't even on!) i think that will make it so i won't have to explain any escort business after the fact if i happen to shoot a burglar who i have on tape trespassing on my property. i don't think (and i pray) that it won't get THAT far, but when dealing with the mentally unstable (or chemically imbalanced - however you wanna call it) you just never can tell....
