Funny thing happened this weekend where I live. For the first time in (literal) months, my Sam's Club had TP. Now mind you, I don't need any because I'm ALWAYS prepared (and have been ridiculed plenty by "family").
Anyway, it made me think: Now is the time for Patriots to stock up while the SHEEP don't have a f-ing clue about what's going on or what's coming. The rough part of the STORM is just getting fired up, and the RONA is calming down.
Go shopping. (and be sure to buy ammo too)

I recommend a revolver and a shotgun for home protection. The revolver (i.e. .38 special or .357) are virtually foolproof and ultra-reliable. If you get a new one, then I recommend taking it to a gunsmith to have the trigger adjusted for your person. That is the downfall of the revolver... it can be a bit hard for petite or older ladies to pull the trigger, but this can be adjusted. (Use hollow point rounds for better stopping power)

Second that on the .38 special. Got a small wife and she has no problem.
Excellent choice in my opinion...

Agree on both points but fitting a well functioning light and night sights is also critical as likely any home defense scenario will occur at night. A good quality semi auto pistol is easier to fit both.
And practice as soon as possible with a pistol. It’s definitely a muscle memory thing

Just from experience... my wife is a smaller lady and has a hard time to cock a semi-auto pistol to get the first round into the chamber. And it takes two hands to do it. So I bought her a revolver, and boom... easy peasy.

Dude, we don't know how "old" this "old woman" is. She's never owned a gun and you start at shotgun and .357? Thankfully she has a former special forces friend to help her, because this is not good advice. Who knows? Maybe she's worked a ranch all her life and could brush off 3" slugs like they aren't shit, but those are your recommendations for an old first-timer? Come on. Revolver isn't a bad recommendation, since loading mags might be difficult for an "old woman's" fingers.

Dude, you can fuck off and kiss my ass faggot. She can speak for herself.
