Update on stalker situation (the girl whose college campus doesn't have security is exempt from campus carry)


I hope it's okay to post an update! This subreddit is the first community on Reddit that has been helpful to me and I felt like you guys had my back, so I wanted to give you an update on my situation. If this is too off-topic and inappropriate for the subreddit please let me know and I’ll certainly stop! (This update isn’t strictly campus-related, it’s the whole situation)Preemptive TL;DR:Stalker stalked, workplace prevented me from calling 911Stalker admitted to stalking me via recorded phone call w/ LEOShot off 50 rounds @ target practice, guns are funEstablishing a shooting area in my yardSetting up a reloading stationSet up a meeting with school official and advocate from the domestic violence center to discuss campus safetyGetting escorted to my vehicle at nightTax return arrived, looking at a Ruger LC9s to carryLooking at joining a women’s gun clubSince my post about there being no security on my school's campus my crazy idiot stalker (Crazypants) stalked me at work again. My workplace intentionally prevented me from calling 911 with the warning that the last person who called 911 lost their job. The reasoning was that my company doesn't want to stop anyone from shopping there (even though it's literally illegal for him to even be in their parking lot even when I'm not there). So I clocked out early and went to the police station.The responding officer was wonderful, so professional, and had a lot of excellent advice. I have 8 to 12 (I’d have to check) open cases against Crazypants for stalking and have interacted with a lot of officers through all this, and this one is definitely in my top two favorites. Great guy. He called Crazypants (which is common - they call him to see wtf his story is). Crazypants admitted to stalking me because he "just wanted a peek" at me. The call was recorded, yay! I look forward to that one making it to court. His jury trial for a previous stalking incident is coming up in May.Obviously preventing me from calling 911 was illegal (KSA 21-5909) and had they allowed me to call while he was there he'd be in custody right now (and he’s out on bond from another stalking arrest, so getting arrested again would be excellent). When I went back to work my boss had spoken to the district manager who said to not prevent me from calling again (also if I got wrongfully fired for this I'd sue the company's pants off).The next day I got paid leave because they didn't want me on the premises while they figured out what to do with me and my situation. Paid leave was pretty cool because I wound up setting up a shooting area in my yard (I live in the country) and went through 50 rounds with my dad's 45. I would have done more but I ran out of ammo. My dad is setting up a reloading station in the locked room of his barn and will be teaching me to reload ammo. So we’ll have an area for target practice and I’ll be reloading, yay!I set up a meeting with the Vice President of my school and an advocate from the local domestic violence center to discuss campus safety. It’ll be on Friday. I really hope we come up with an agreeable solution to the lack of security on campus! If not, I’ll need to figure out my next course of action.Also I’m getting escorted to my car when I go out. So like, last Friday I left my preferred establishment at 2:30am and had an employee escort me to my truck. I’m a regular and they know what’s going on and are happy to walk me until Crazypants is behind bars. I’m not going to do my usual routine of location hopping because I think for now I should probably stick to one location, especially one where the employees are all gorgeous strong, young men who know my situation, and as such would respond quickly with the knowledge of what’s going on. Plus, their cameras seriously catch everything, so there would be recorded evidence should Crazypants show up. (BTW, obviously when I’m carrying I won’t be drinking, but I don’t have to drink to have fun so that’s totally fine with me)Also my tax return arrived today! And it’s enough for a Ruger LC9s (which is what I’m leaning toward but I’m not 100% sure yet)! I’m super excited to start carrying, even if I can’t carry at work or at school. I’m also thinking about joining a women’s gun club. From what I’ve seen of the local chapter on Facebook they seem like the right demographic for me. It also looks like they have a guest speaker at each meeting and they host self-defense demonstrations. Plus their membership comes with discounts with certain retailers.So that’s what has happened in the past six days. Thank you guys for being so helpful last time. I live in a constitutional carry state so once I decide for sure which firearm I want I’ll go buy it and join your ranks! via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2mFb1X5
