Are you planning on buying the cheapest gun recommended and one box of ammo and then sticking them both in the closet until you need it? I think a better plan would be to buy a decent gun from a good manufacturer, learn how to clean and maintain it, practice enough that you can actually hit what you're aiming at and shoot from month to month so you don't get rusty. I think you are on the right track with the .38 revolver (or .357) and as others have mentioned, some type of shotgun might be better if you never leave the house.

I guess you know that you 'can't take it with you' so you might as well do it right...
