My girlfriend's ex came into her house uninvited in the early morning a couple days ago to get the rest of his stuff he left there. I was there along with a couple of our friends and he started going crazy throwing stuff, breaking things, etc. I was told to just stay in the bedroom while she took care of it. Not even thinking about the possible consequences for staying put, I did. After 3 times of him refusing to leave I decided to go and see what was going on. When I walked out of the bedroom, he had his hand up acting as if he was going to hit her while threatening her with physical harm. I had my pistol in hand and he focused on it, rethinking his action. He was then told to leave again and did.
She is now afraid to stay by herself and rightfully so. I gave her 2 of my pistols she is familiar with and told her to not hesitate to shoot if he comes in again. The locks have been changed, restraining order will be filed first thing Tuesday, and I am staying with her for a little while just for some extra piece of mind.
My only real question is what else can be done? The police won't arrest him because he had a key that he "lost". (I know, the locks should have been changed then and there) I do not want to shoot someone for simply being stupid, but will do what ever it takes to protect my girlfriend and myself.
