She just ingnored him and walked away, but after hearing this story I convinced her to get her CCW permit, now I'm trying to find a good gun for her. I'm considering the S&W 642, 38 Special, or maybe the Ruger LCP, what do you guys think? Any input would be very helpful.
Respectfully-
I think you may be making a big mistake. It seems to me that you're more involved in her safety than she is. If she had to be talked into a CCW its not a good sign. You will not be there to talk her into pulling the trigger. I think you need to have a serious talk with her and figure out if this is something she wants- or something you want for her.
My fiancee is the same way- she likes the idea of having a weapon but not willing to purchase one (i've more than offered to buy for her). As soon as she said "I don't think I could use it" I dropped the whole idea...
She needs to make a decision for herself- and not be "sold" on the idea, she also needs to pick out her own weapon. But to answer your question check out the Taurus Milennium series..
Yes I see your point. But maybe I gave you the wrong immpression. It was initially my idea for her to get the CCW, but she took interest in the idea and it's something that she really wants to do for herself, some of her girlfriends are getting theirs as well, and it wasn't something that she was opposed to at all, I was just the one to educate her on the process of getting a CCW. But I will admit that being her big brother I want her to be safe.
...I would actually suggest a good .22LR as a first purchase. It can be carried when she has her license. It is cheap to shoot and she needs to shoot to develop good habits...
What state is she in and does that state allow handguns on campus?? Some states (FL) allow students, faculity & staff to carry non-leathal tasers, but otherwise ban handguns.
I cary an LCP, but certainly WOULD NOT RECOMMEND it for an inexperienced shooter. Both Charter Arms and the Ruger LCR make (are) light-weight revolvers. Women will (usually) have a purse - making it 'less of an issue' to conceal the extra 1/4" ~ 3/8" width of a 5 shot .38 Spl +P (vs an LCP).
