It's BAD ADVICE for someone to recommend to you... "go buy a gun or taser".
It can be even more dangerous for you..
(I have a S&W .40 & would gladly use it if I had to)
Do get a NO SOLICITING sign, if they ignore it they are breaking the law & can be arrested!!!
It seems to me you did the right things.

Now that I think about it, really don't get a gun. Depending on the law, if the cops find out you are in deep s*it.
However, if having a taser in your area is not against the law, then you should be able to get one. Also, make sure that the law states that you can use it. Unfortunately, you will need to go to class to learn how to use them, they are usually offered by officers or retired officers, military personal, private detectives, and even security guards. You may need to be shocked even just to see how it feels, but besides the tingling for a couple of minutes it's really not that bad. Although, I have never been shocked nor own one, this is what my officer, security and private detective friends have said.
Also, the no soliciting/trespassing sign, is a good idea. Even if they don't read it, you can call the cops and have them arrested.
