<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

He's been idly tossing threats for a while. Daughter lives with him at the moment as I have been working to get myself my own place without roommates. Last night I had picked her up for a costume party and was a little late dropping her off. We do not have a custody agreement in place.

When I got there he immediately got verbally abusive which is nothing new. But then he shoved me. As I told him not to put his hands on me he pulled out a gun and put it to my head and said he should shoot me right then. All of this because I was late dropping her off. 

I'm scared to involve the police. I feel it would escalate the situation and he would really come after me once he got out. I do have recorded conversations of him threatening me and people I know. But it's not like they can follow me around 24/7 protecting me. I don't know what to do. 

All I do know is I need to get custody of my daughter to get her away from him. Though I am scared he will come after me if that happens as well. I don't believe that my daughter is in any physical danger though I do know it isn't healthy for her psychologically to be around him and hear the things he says. 

For the record this is the first time he has ever gotten physical like this. We were together ten years. He's always had anger issues but this is a new level. I don't know how to even judge his mental state anymore as he seems to have gone off the deep end.
