The day has come. My very liberal wife whom when we met told me that she would never own a gun or allow one in her house. (Cue glance at my EDC bag with 2 glocks inside while telling myself that rule was just broken) wants a gun.
She is doing some solo backpacking trips and wants a gun for protection against bears, cougars etc and simpler sized game. Now I am doing lots of reading and I'm taking her out so she can figure out what she wants because that's really what will make or break it.
I would like advice and ideas from those that have more experience than myself. What caliber and type of gun (semi vs revolver).
I would prefer to keep it a common caliber that would do the job such as (10mm, 357 mag, 357 sig, 40 etc) and also preferably a caliber that she can make follow up shots on so somthing that won't go straight up.
Again the biggest threat we are looking at is a black bear and the most agile is a cougar.
We have lots of time between now and her trips (over a year). I am starting her on my 22LR pistol and going from there.
Thank you.
