whatever you decide you need a tactical light 120+lumens i recommend.

Some have said that a pistol is for when your not expecting trouble , if you KNOW there is trouble you need a rifle (tactical carbine like an a r15/ak47) or a shotgun.

Shotguns require a certain level or proffiency for women to use or smaller men with no gun experience, But there highly recommended.

I'd go for an ar15/ak47 , a semiautomatic shotgun (pump in a pinch), or a normal capacity handgun 18-33rds (glock 17 with a 18rounds or 33rd is tons of firepower)

Best option for children in the house is a handgun with a normal capacity (anti-gunners call it high capacity i call it normal capacity) AND a gun vault biometric safe.

A Colt Monitor BAR and a Ma Deuce for home, and maybe a Solothurn 20mm for road travel. Can't be too careful, y'know....ahaha

Just kidding. If you're fairly new to handgunning, you may be best off with a revolver. I suggest .357 magnum or bigger in a double action. My latest carry piece is a Ruger Speed Six from the mid '80s. Ruger currently makes several good double action revolvers and I like their designs.

12 gauge pump action shot gun and a 4" double action .357 revolver!

Both are bullet proof!

K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple Stupid!

IMHO you can't go wrong with either of these choices!
