A friend's mother has been turned down for a handgun permit. I urged him to help her appeal to a judge here. May or may not work out.
She lives in a dangerous neighborhood and needs protection. She is 67, not good health. We've talked some & I suggested getting her a 20 gauge pump shotgun with 18 or 20 inch barrel. May be a lot for her to handle but she does need something, mainly for the home. I am also wondering if she would do better with a 20 gauge or .410 double barrel. Stoeger has the side by side coach gun in 20 and .410, a little under $500 from what I've seen around. The double is very simple to load & shoot, though less firepower.
I like the looks of the Mossberg JIC, very compact. But it only comes in 12 gauge and may be too much for her to handle.
Thoughts?
