I can say this, since I am a woman....based on the quote you used, she is one of those people who probably should not have a firearm.
Now again, because I am a woman, I cannot shut up after such a short statement as the above comment. So I must go on long enough for every man reading this to do “the eye roll and deep sigh.”
The only reason for a woman to get a firearm (or a nice even dozen or so) is to have the capability to fully defend yourself as a woman against possible attack by what is likely to be a man who is a lot stronger than you are.
If a woman doesn’t have the survival instinct that makes her kill instead of being killed, then she’s not likely to even use the weapon if TSHTF.
She will probably be afraid of the weapon, and could put herself in danger by unsafe handling due to being nervous about the weapon.
I find great comfort in grabbing my weapon of choice when something seems suspicious out here in the sticks at night. It takes the sheriff 45 minutes to get here, therefore I am my own sheriff. 911? Yeah right. I’ll be assuming room temperature before they ever get here. A phone never saved anyone with a bad guy coming through the front door.
In summary,(hee hee)if she’s really that uncomfortable with the intended use for a firearm, she shouldn’t have one.
Get her a pair of dobermans. They make a swell alarm system.
Any eye rollers out there yet? Deep sighs? Good, then I’ve said too much as usual.
