IMHO, a 12ga shotgun is way too much gun for a women of that age with no shooting experience. Even young women find shotguns difficult to handle due to stock length, weight, and fear of recoil. Consider trading the shotgun for a compact rifle (Mini 14 would be good) or a revolver.

I own several shotguns, all of them 12ga. A Browning Sweet 16 is the only non-12ga shotgun I would even consider buying. -

I have a Buck Mark with a Nikon red dot on it. It's one of my fav handguns. Be sure to do the sear spring flip and you'll have a wonderful trigger as well. Sight it in at 15 yards and it will also be accurate at 50yds due to the parabolic bullet path. Most of my Buck Mark shooting is done...

Enter the courthouse with your concealed handgun and your chances of being excused will probably increase significantly. :D

Dumb. But not half as dumb as the NC law that allows Sheriffs to deny a handgun purchase permit on the grounds of poor moral character. Ol' Jim Crow in action.

7 is a good age to start teaching how to safely use a firearm and a BB gun is a great way to start. But only under very strict supervision. The degree of supervision can slowly be relaxed as the child demonstrates the experience and maturity to handle the weapon safely. Something which may...
