i just got out of a relationship and i am keeping the apartment we shared and sometimes because of the drama that has happened i am kind of scared i think he still has a copy of the key i don't know if one day he will come in and try to do something to me. so i wanted to know if there is anything else besides a bat or kitchen knife that i can protect myself with in the state of california is it legal to have pepper spray or a stun gun or are there other things i can use to protect myself since i live alone... and getting a roomate is not something i want.. for the past 2weeks i have had friends stay with me till late at night till i feel asleep...so any ideas of what i can use for protection... i already sleep with a bat next to my bed

First Thing That You Need To Do Is To Change The Locks So He will Not Have The Keys, Then You Need To Go to the Court House And Get A restraing Order Against Him That Way If he Does Come Near You He Can Go To Jail

Having weapons next to the bed is actually not very good. The experts say that most likely an intruder will just end up using your weapons against you. I would change the locks, or get a security system. Have a phone nearby with emergency numbers programed to speed dial so you can call for help if you need to. You could also add a lock to your bedroom door, so even if someone gets into the house, you have more time before they actually get to you.

Well for one u need to make it a priority to have all the locks changed on the doors to enter the apt.. 2nd make sure all windows are locked before leaving in the morning, when u get home and before going to bed.. 3rd if u fear him then get a restraining order.. 4th u should be able to have pepper spray, the stun gun i don't know about but it sounds like a mighty good idea to have it...

First, change the locks. You may also mention to your super about what happened and let him know your bf no longer lives there. Also, vary your routine and schedule. Let your friends and family know about your activities, what's going on in your life - and set up a system where you check in with everyone so that if they don't hear from you in a day or two, someone will know that something has happened to you. Since you live alone now, you may also consider getting a dog.

im sorry but reading that title i had to laugh. LOL oh wait im still laughing!! .........
yeah im done.
firstly CHANGE THE BLOODY LOCK!
I dont think its right to arm yourself with things like that in a home. i dont know whats wrong with you American's.
I would suggest a high tech security system LOL since your so sure this guy will kill you.
metal baseball bats do maximum damage. i dont know what else to suggest. many hire some guys to "sort" him out.

Change the locks... simple and maybe a bit costly but effective!
