I'm leaving the nest soon, and dont really want to leave Mama defenseless. Her boyfriend is an OTR driver so he wont be here every night.
I dont really want to leave her a pistol because for one, I like all of mine, and two, longarms are easier to shoot accurately with less training. A shotgun is out of the question (even with the low-recoil rounds that I admit to using) because of problems with her back and shoulder. I've settled on suggesting a carbine in a pistol caliber so niose wouldnt be as much of an issue.
I've settled on suggesting a Hi-Point Carbine (or picking up the tab, if need be) with a red dot up top. It's cheap, reliable, and accurate enough. The few I've handled seemed like cheap piles, but the owners spoke highly of them, and I've seen the same here on THR. Kel-Tecs also came to mind, but I have no experiance with them, and cant remember what the owners have said about them here (I'll do a search later).
Basicly, I'm just wondering what y'all think, and if you have any other suggestions. At the moment, Mama is pretty dependant on me, and with me trying to move out I dont have the cash to spare, and since her BF is moving here from out of state, I dont know if he'll have a lot either. So if you have any other suggestions, try to keep them cheap.
