Stun guns and consumer tasers are fine to own, but not really a substitute for a gun. If she won't have a gun or if there are kids to consider, get a consumer taser sure. Better than nothing. May not stop an attacker, but may scare off a percentage.
Or get a taser, hand stunners, AND a gun or guns. And pepper spray, hidden about.
Any weapon has a chance of being used against it's user, but, tasers are unlikley to kill your kid.
Shotguns have good qualities, but they are heavy slow and inconvienient and likely to induce gun fear in a woman user. But, they are intimidating as fuck. And simple.
The problem is deciding what kind to get that she will accept and be able to use in an emergency. And you have to figure out where it will be kept for emergency use, will it be kept loaded or unloded, locked, will kids ever be able to access it, on and on.
Those questions are also important for handguns, but a shotgun cant be kept in a drawer.
