Background info: I'm a woman in my early 20s who is about to move alone to a new state for a new job. Recently, I found out that my then-fiance was a pedophile and reported it. The investigations are ongoing, but it's starting to look as though he will not serve prison time and he is planning to move to the same city and state that I am. Because of my report, he has lost his current job and it is unlikely that he will be able to find employment again in his field. He has struggled with mental illness in the past, though his current medications keep him stabilized. As all of this has unfolded, it is clear that he does not experience feelings of remorse, guilt, or empathy the way normal people do. I am afraid. Less so where I currently live as I was taken into protected housing until the move, but I am afraid of what could happen once I do move, especially if he stops taking his medication. It would not be difficult for him to find me, as he knows where my new job is located and he has lots of time on his hands, being unemployed and all.Question: I refuse to live my life in constant fear. I want to feel comfortable in my own home and exploring my new city. I'm interested in a ccw, but I'm unsure whether a gun or something else is the better choice. My job is in a government building, so I will not be able to carry into work and there are laws against carrying in bars and other places I will likely frequent as a newly-single person. I'm wondering if a small taser is a better option, as I could probably keep it on my keys in my purse and not have to worry about carrying it wherever. I'm just looking for some advice and recommendations from people who know about such things?Note: I grew up shooting and my first job was teaching gun safety at a sportsman's range. Guns aren't new to me, but the idea of having to carry one everyday to protect myself from someone I loved is a little difficult to wrap my head around. I'm sorry this is so long. via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2ppODmk
