insights, please, on most effectual means of self protection?

I have been considering getting a pew pew recently, but have a number of considerations:

- price for pew pew plus classes
- knowing the law as to when i can have/use it and cannot
- the stats are grim for suicidal people such as myself: up to 3x more likely to use it AGAINST oneself than for self protection. it may have actually saved my life, just last night, that I am not a pew pew owner.
- would I even be able to access it in time, in the event of an intruder

I also have a stalker, so I do want to feel protected in my home. Thanks in advance for any advice!!

The stats on woman using fire arms as a means to commit suicide is low it' s mostly a male way out.🤗Be safe. And we love you so don't ever hurt yourself and if you know who is bothering you just message me and I'll take care of them. I've had problems with people messing with me also and I'd love to take my frustrations out on someone that deserves it.
