That used to be me. We live in a nice neighborhood. We don't go to bad places. We don't hang out with bad people. The police are there to protect me. Nothing bad could ever happen to me.

I believed that. Until it DID happen to me. In my very own nice home, in my nice neighborhood, with my nice children at home. And the police responded in only 1 hour, 45 minutes. After there was nothing left for them to protect. It was already done.

Some of us have to learn the hard way. I'm sorry.

Send her to a GOOD basic pistol instructor and let her get familiar with several different types of guns. She needs to learn from someone that is NOT you.

Then, without trying to persuade her to get what you think is best for her, let her pick out her own gun. Any gun is better than no gun.
