re: Gun for home protection

I don't have anything against guns, but I've never been a gun user. With all the violence out there, I'm thinking about getting something to keep in the house. Thinking around $300-400 range. What's a gun to look at and should I go to pawn shops or other places?

I would consider the availability of training since you're new to firearms. I could hand you a $3000 AR15 kitted up but if you don't how to actually fight, then it's an expensive club. If I was in your shoes what I would do is check out the defensive training classes and what firearm types they train on. Just remember that the firearm is a tool and tools are only as good as its user.
