glad you are ok....
im torn because i do like guns, but after reading alot of these posts (some of them really dumb advice)...people are so easily overcome with the "kill kill kill" mentality....come on ppl, think about this and lets think about Lori...this isnt hollywood...its not all rambo style vigilante....id rather see you go and get that alarm system Maddog is talking about...its a safer route that you wont have to worry about accidentally shooting your dog, child or anyone by accident...or if you have it and an intruder overtakes you, uses it on you....if you want to take lessons on guns and want to have it locked away and are willing to shoot someone, then i recommend a hand gun....a shotgun will knock you off your ass...but remember bullets are forever and one mistake will effect you waaaay more...
guns dont kill people, people kill people...but if you arent comfortable with a gun.....get yourself a good old wood baseball bat and tuck it near the bed...plenty of my female friends have one near the front door as well as one in their bedroom closet...its safer, wont go offer accidentally and if your daughter gets a hold of it, you dont have to worry about it hurting her...or the dog or you....
i am all for guns and owning one, but to go and buy one in the state of mind you are in currently i believe you might not make such a rational purchase...
Maddogs recommended alarms system
Baseball bat
Lock the doors & windows
THEN if you want a gun, make it with a clear head and get lessons and a lock....
