Sharpshooter
...for my 73 year old (don't tell her I told you ) mom.
I was talking with mom this morning and she mentioned that the 12 gauge I gave her and dad a few years ago wasn't her 'weapon of choice' for home defense/personal protection. I chuckled at first, then she mentioned the weight, loading it and proper home placement being a big issue. When I gave it to them I didn't consider her getting more frail. I don't have any spare handguns laying around nor do I have bags of money hidden somewhere.
My parents are both retired but, working part-time to pay for insurance and medications. So an inexpensive weapon is a must. Is there a good, inexpensive handgun available? Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking for a pity case sale.
Can you give me some help trying to find the right handgun for them? Low kick with plenty of punch and low price... too Utopian?
Thanks!
