Famale, and live in a residential area. I was thinking of getting a small gun so I can carry it around. I want to get a concealed weapon permit.
You are getting good advice from everyone and hopefully you will end up with a variety of guns, for instance maybe your husband’s pistol can be the home defense pistol like a .357, or .45 or something.
I own almost all of the popular guns for the home and have a CCL and a Glock 17 for carry, I have the pistols, the shotgun, the AR-15, the 10/22 and so on, but I am looking into one of these to keep on my person all the time, even when in a robe and pajamas, you might be thinking in those terms, something so small and light that you wear it all day at home, gardening, cleaning house and so on.
