i keep a 9mm at my night stand loaded with gold dots that should be enough to stop any attacker that breaks in...if i have enough time i will go for the Bushmaster AR that sits in my gun safe..

the sound of a round being chambered in any pump shotgun usually makes most perps pee in their pants, nothing like that sound.

How do you figure Chieftain?

I find the AR15 operating handle extremely awkward to use, and have yet to meet a woman who could find it and operate it without instruction on the platform. On the other hand, I have not yet met a woman who cant operate a lever gun. The .357s are really easy to operate. Sometimes the lever will almost operate itself on well used specimens!

Should I just force her to train with the shotgun

At gun point, presumably?

Listen to Trebor.

You all might have forgotten this but the inline stock of the AR-15 can be awkward, especially for pointing, if you are used to traditional stock styles. However, everyone else very correct when they say to practice tons with any gun you plan on using for SD or HD, and if you practice with AR style you get plenty used to it.
