I had this convo with my sister-in-law in December. She wanted to run out and buy a pistol because she wanted to assert the right to own a gun, because of politics. She was mugged last year, but that wasn't what her motivation was.
She is hand to mouth and this isn't food or shelter, so such a purchase is far from easy. She has a young son (and his friends are in the house frequently), so I told her it had to be locked up if it wasn't with her. I asked about her will to shoot people if needed, to start the thought process.
She asked for my opinion. I offered to take her to the range so I could get her started on the decision, and so she could try my array of guns to see what fit her hand. She ended up going shooting with a guy she knows who is "army, so he knows all about guns". I told her that might be a bad idea, but so it goes. She hasn't said a word about it since.
I'd like to take her shooting a few times and turn her into a gun girl, but didn't want her to run out and buy a gun without thinking it through.
