A Davy Crockett Nuclear Tipped Rifle would make an ideal first weapon

Get a Ruger 22 target pistol

You can get 500 round boxes of ammo at Wal-Mart for about 10 bucks and can practice practice practice.

Most other ammo is expensive enough to prevent you from working with your weapon.....9mm, .45, etc.

Uzi.

From 10 paces you just point and click.

9 times out of 10 you hit what you were pointing at.

Glock. Any Glock.

I suggest a S&W model 36. Put some decent grips on it and its bulletproof. 5 shot detective special thats easily concealed, rarely if ever fails, and good in short range self protection.

On the other hand if you are worried about missing I suggest a .41 cal revolver loaded with .410 shot shells.. :-)

A rifle is the best place to start. Once you learn to shoot a rifle you can move on to pistols and shotguns.

9mm Walther, P-38, double action, deadly accurate, little recoil, with holow-point bullets will do the job. Best to avoid the big mommas to start with. (ex-cop)

Start with this:

Easily concealable and hardly any felt recoil.

The cannon is cool too.
