My fiancee and I go to the range together a lot. She is "ok" in regards to her view of guns (she is fine having one, just skittish about the idea of needing one if you know what I mean). We've been trying to determine what would suit her best in terms of defensive equipment - even more so now that I'll be leaving for BMT in a few months and after that we're not sure how long it will be before we're living together again.
We've been debating between a taser (from the company of the same name) and a 9mm of some variety. I know ideally it'd be the 9mm but the kicker is that she is, well....forgetful. She even says that she'd probably forget she isn't allowed to carry in X place when she has a gun on her.
She says she'd be fine with carrying it with her in her car, and of course at home - it's just the on-person carry she's not fully confident in herself for. That's what made me think of getting her one of these, but if push came to shove, I'm not convinced the taser would be everything she needs.
For reference, she's 5'1'' and about 100 lbs - tiny little thing. So she has some difficulty in follow-up shots at the range currently.
Suggestions?
