Definately NOT the AR-15! Shotgun or handgun.
I have my .380. May not be as recommended as a .45 etc but its what I am comfortable shooting. Maybe its a little different for me being a woman but the last thing I want to have to protect me is a gun I that I cant comfortably shoot, if I actually had to use it in self defense.

I am in MA and dont know about NY but it just makes sense to have all proper permits, training, safety courses, etc. Go the distance and find a seminar on the use of weapons in self defense. If god forbid you ever have to use it, chances are YOU will be under the greatest scutiny, not the one that invaded your home. It will help describe situations that may arise, how to judge when to use it and when not to use it. Sad to say but that info could potentially save YOU from going to the clink for protecting your family.

Its not as simple as "guy breaks in and shoot"....there are many factors to weigh.

Simplify.......
