I know there are plenty of threads like this but hear me out. I have a female friend who also happens to be Muslim. She is has voiced to me recently that she is considering getting a firearm for self-dense as she has been harassed by a group of people near where she works that have threatened to rape her, and have tried to pull her hijab off as she was walking to her car. She also said one of the members of the group followed her several block in the car, and she is concerned they might try to follow her home. She in not a "gun person" but she is not anti-gun either.
She brought it up to me as she knows I go shooting regularly. She is about average height for a woman, about 5'5 or so, and tends to be more on the slender side of the scale.
I promised to take her shooting once she bought it and teach her proper use and safe handling practices. I asked her how much she wanted to spend, and was pretty clueless, but I eventually got it out that not any more then $500. My first instinct was a G19, but she did express interest in getting a CCW later on, and I'm not sure if a fullsized G19 would be easy to carry on the body for a smaller build person. But then again she also carries a purse with her, so that might not be an issue.
I'm more of a rifleman by nature then a handgun guy, so I figure I would toss it out to the experts here.
Thanks in advance guys
