Title asks it all, but this stems from a thread in the Rifle Country ( http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=108963 ) and, unfortunately, it turns out that a gun may not be a viable option.
Abridged version of the situation...
What techniques would y'all recommend to prevent a bad situation from occurring? What implements work to great effect that still fall under the ever-annoying factor of being legal?
Any and all help is appreciated.
Abridged version of the situation...
A friend/coworker of mine is moving to Rhode Island from Oklahoma City this winter for school, and having been in a few bad situations before in her life, she isn't going to do this without some sort of self-protection. She wants a gun for defense purposes; but being 18, a handgun will not work. A few details on the situation:
She's about average height and build, but tough
Money is not something she has a lot of (budget is ~$200 at the extreme highest)
Ruggedness is important
Capacity is a big factor as well
Means of conveyance is a '70s Chevy 1/2 ton pickup. Neither she nor I know much about the "Peaceable Journey" laws, so where online would one find them?
A Kel-Tec Sub 2000 with Beretta mags appears more realistic, however it's too expensive. I mentioned the Hi-Point carbine, but capacity is rather low. One of my more creative suggestions was a used Remington 870 Marine Mag with a PG and PG foregrip, but that may be a bit much.
