I am new to really even thinking about guns. I am thinking though now about it.
I was attacked at college and help at knife point for 3 hours so I know the scum that walks around in the public. Thankfully I believe God was my salvation that day.
I now have small at home business and deal mostly with women, but ocassionally men will call and I am uncomfortable with men coming alone for my business.
(Nothing shady or illegal, but I don't wish to tell just what I do. Less known about me keeps me safer posting here I think. Never know who is reading.)
Anyway, if I wanted to protect myself what might be the best way? i
am thinking of maybe an ankle holster. I get deliveries at the door, have folks drop by to see if I am open, etc and I don't always know who is there.
I give lessons sometimes and even with woman and man coming, I don't really know either of them.
An ankle holster would always be out of sight, but I would always know where it is.
I do a good deal of reaching and bending in my business and worry other holsters will get in my way or be more noticeable.
I do have grandbaby but she is not here often. But child safety is a concern, so leaving it out in the open or just under an edge of a table might be someplace she would be able to find it and be injured.
I also don't want to be too quick to reach for the gun because sometimes my own family drops in or comes down our stairs quietly while my loud machine is running and I don't hear them til they speak and then I jump.
I worry I would too quickly reach for a belt holstered gun and maybe shoot someone I love.
I think thought I need a gun nearby all the time since I never know what will be coming to my door and when.
I am in southern area of Indiana, and wondering if anyone in this area has taken a class from a policeman who offers classes to women only. Or if you have taken classes like this somewhere else, was the class what you needed?
I am concerned about the class I know of at this time because when I asked if I needed a CC license to carry the gun to the range to practice, he said no. I read here that I do need it and it can take a long time to get it. The first class he is offering is in May and another in June or July so I am concerned about the timing to get the license.
He also said I should look into a 22 caliper. I did not see too many recommending this on your site. I would hope to never have a need to use the gun, but I sure don't ever want to be back in the situation I was in in college.
Thanks in advance to anyone who wants to reply to this.
