The best place to start is going to a gun store/shop and find a gun you are comfortable holding. Next read the manual that comes with the gun or ask questions on here to learn more about guns.

Training and practice is were you will learn to be comfortable shooting and carrying your new firearm.

There are several good places to get training when starting out, just don't worry about being the only female or one of a few in the class. You are their to learn and get comfortable carrying a gun for your protection.

If you are ever over my way (New Castle). I'm more than willing to make a trip to the FOP range with you.
