Given the level of vitriol, and that he announced (what I presume to be) your address, I hope you have good personal security arrangements. Including knowing the fine print on the "He needed killin'" defense. (When the Army stationed me in Texas, I was disappointed to learn that, at the time, it was almost exactly the same as what Michigan calls "self defense." But a lot of law, and case law, can change in a quarter century.)
I'm not saying this as a likely concern. Most vaguely stalkery Internet trolls never attack with anything more hostile than nasty emails, and most of the exceptions limit themselves to malware. But the exceptions do exist.
I do live in East Jesus, where guns are a fact of life. We have varmints such as rattlesnakes, copperheads, and coyotes out here. It's also a real PITA to get here if you haven't got a good map, even using Google Earth or Mapquest, because we ARE in the boonies and the streets aren't all marked.
Wow. Weird. I'd definately save (and maybe print out to a file-folder) your correspondence with this guy. Although - do you think he may be just looking for attention and you're fulfilling his need by responding?
I'm saving it -- but I also reported him to abuse@hotmail.com. This is just pure and simple trolling. I figure I was frustrating the holy hell out of him by not getting pissy and continuing to answer calmly and factually.

I wonder if this is linked to your previous post with the plagiarism issue.
