I appreciate all the advice I’ve been given thus far in this thread. I am awaiting a return phone call from the county attorney and will discuss further with that person. I will also ask him whether a RO or OFP is warranted and what “extra protections” if any that may give me.
The manager of the community I am in is getting him served with a no trespass order for the community, so if I want to I can ask the police to enforce aggravated trespass on him (charge him) if I witness him in the community.
What I see right now is that it looks like the clear and present danger inside my home (not just on property), unless a gun or knife is involved on the other party’s part (taking aim at me), but basically if I see imminent danger that appears to have no other reasonable outcome other than the threat or use of deadly force in my immediate dwelling, then I have to retreat (which is what I did in the original case.
This guy threatened to bomb my house and kill my family, so I’m a little nervous right now.
