I was just going off of the limited guns in her price range that are on the lists. Do you really think a revolver is best? One of the things she is worried about is having enough time to rack the slide. Being that there would be kids in the house it would never have one in the pipe. I have never liked having revolvers around kids being they are to easy to operate, so this is one thing I would worry about. But that would be something we could work on if a revolver is better for her. Thanks

You just answered your own questions. Why carry a gun if it's not loaded??
If she has the gun it should be on her person, in the home.
Any gun is easy to operate. One of the biggest problems i have with CA and i have many ,is the legal / liability issues of safe gun storage. From what i understand, from the people that live there. If your gun falls in to someone's hands you are held liable. That means in the home, locked (trigger) in a gun safe and no access from any one else. All these answers regarding safe storage, i believe can be found on the CADOJ web site, and also a few CA hometown gun boards.
As for gun training and CCW, few if any counties issue to civilians, san bernidido cty does. The state of CA requires you to attend one of their approved firearms classes IF you are lucky enough to have the CCW option. Our daughter was unable to use a NRA cert from me as i am not a CA resident. She was required to attend a CA approved course even though she is a current CA LE. Ca doesn't give a shit about anyone's safety.
