Can anyone give me some recommendations on an inexpensive handgun. I had something happen that I feel jeopardizes my and my roommates safety and want to pick up a reliable gun incase anything comes of this situation, I have a plethora of knives and other hand to hand weapons however bringing a knife to a gun fight is IMO not the best idea.
Thanks,
Andy

If you are in Ca I think there is a waiting period, so would go down to a gun shop and start the ball rolling ASAP
"I am pretty sure a psychopath is stalking me and with the situation I am pretty sure going to the police would only make things worse. "
why would the police make it worse?
even if they are incompetent, at least having a paper trail on your side is a GOOD thing

I am fairly sure the guy knows where I live and I have no real evidence for him stalking me. If I call the police they may go talk to him but there is no way they are going to arrest him and I don't want to have the cops just go over and incense him farther. So I figure the best thing I can do is arm myself and hope I don't have to use it.

You are being to evasive. If you want advice I need the whole story.

pretty sure the whole point of having a user name like GOTJELLO is so no one knows it is you, so you can open up
