One of my co-workers, a nice single lady in her 50s has bad arthritis. She lives alone in an older neighborhood that is OK in itself but she needs to drive through some rather bad areas to get to work.
She mentioned several times that she's concerned about her safety but can't tolerate shooting a gun. She tried a 9mm and a .380 and could not manage the recoil.
Would a .22LR be a good match for her ? This is certainly better than nothing. My concern however would be the quality of ammo - I certainly had some duds shooting rimfire rounds, never so far with a centerfire.
