The best thing to do is seek professional guidance and training. Most NRA courses are relatively inexpensive (we charge $49.00 for Basic pistol). For a novice, a revolver is a good choice. The one that most women I know like is a S&W Mod. 13 3" (any "k" frame will work). Taurus is also a good choice. If you can find a facility with a certified instructor that also rents firearms, try some out. I would strongly recommend against a .22 or a shotgun for home protection. Both leave much to be desired for someone in your position. If you live in AZ, pm me and I can send you information about classes, etc. here.
