I'm a new member to this site from Pella, IA. I recently obtained my Iowa Non-Professional Permit to Carry Weapons, and shortly afterward I purchased a Taurus Millennium Pro 9mm. I have been carrying for about a week now, and I'm trying to get used to having it on me. I recently learned that a former landlord of mine is stalking me and threatening me and my family. Luckily I haven't encountered him, but my neighbor says he's been at my door when I'm gone and has seen him late at night near the apartment building. This guy lives 50 miles away. LEO's don't seem to want to do anything about it because I haven't told him to stop, but I haven't run into him, so how am I supposed to do that? I don't even have contact info for him anymore. I also have a restraining order coming to an end in April with a very vindictive individual that assaulted me. He lives on the same side of town as me. So needless to say, I'm glad that I have the ability to carry now. God forbid I should ever have to fire my weapon at somebody, but at least I know I have a fighting chance if I ever get into that situation. I look forward to participating in the activities and discussions on this site. Hope my introduction wasn't too much. Hope everybody has a great day!
