My girlfriend recently, out of nowhere, asked if I'd help her obtain her LTC. Having never shot a gun before, she definitely surprised me with the request. I am obviously all for it. She lives in an older neighborhood that's surrounded by some pretty rough spots and occasionally makes late night drives home from my place. I'd feel a lot more comfortable with her stopping for gas at midnight if I knew she could defend herself. She's probably 5' and 110 pounds (at most) so her appearance would just scream "victim" to a potential "bad guy" in an empty parking lot.
Anyways... I need some suggestions for guns to look at. We are going to start with a S&W .22 Revolver I've got so as to get her used to the gun going "bang" when she pulls the trigger. Also, figured the rev is a bit more user-friendly, in my opinion. Willing to hear some suggestions on semis too, though. Concealability isn't too big of an issue as she will be carrying in her purse. Still, smaller caliber/frame preferred....
Ladies, what works for you?
Fellas, what do your daughters/wives/etc carry?
TIA, y'all!
