Sig P290RS
Buying a handgun for personal protection at home and conceal carry. What are my best options? Would be nice if home protection would work for both me and my wife (tiny hands).
Thanks,
Jeff

For your "tiny" handed wife - I recommend the Taurus Slim....Even though I do not suffer from that affliction, I loved the accuracy and price.

I am not a Registered Investment Advisor and this is not investment advice. Please do your own due diligence.
Instead of naming guns, calibers and offering advice along that line, as a person who has carried a gun daily I offer this: Both you and your wife should visit a local gun range that offers hand gun rentals. Perhaps introduce yourselves as novice shooters and get a feel for what you both like separately and together. Many times, most times should I say, what works for husband won't work for wife.
In my 31 years of marriage and 22 years in Law Enforcement I know one thing to be true: Husbands and boyfriends tend to make for lousy firearm instructors and golf mentors.
Good luck and have fun, do your research and make a wise and informed decision. The best gun for home defense is the one that you have with you and the one that you are most confident in.

End of discussion.
I'm looking at 22 LR semi automatic handguns and a similar gauge MP5 long rifle for the home.
Suggestions?
Thanks!

Why, thank you for calling me a Hippocratic. I feel honored.
How can i support gun control AND responsible firearm ownership?
I can, as you put it, "think both ways" because they are not mutually exclusive.
I previously have said that the best gun control is to use both hands, and concentrate on your breathing.
But then again, I think that there are MANY things we should consider when regulating firearms.
Those who say not everyone should be toting around a high-capacity AR-15.
You know what I would like to see? Graduated firearms purchase permits, based on your past history, training, experience, age, and community service.
You want to be a firearm owner?
Great.
Start at Age 18.
Training classes, testing, and permitting required.
Class of weapons permitted to own: Single Fire: Single shot shotguns (12, 20 or 410), and black powder muzzle loading rifles (36 to 50 cal). and .22 cal single-shot bolt or break action rifles.
More training, testing.
Age 21: *plus 2 years experience AND some type of community service such as military service; volunteer with an organization (CMP, VFW, AL, etc) .
Class of weapons permitted to own: Above, plus : Pump shotguns up to 4 rounds; pump rifles, tube or mag fed rifles of 5 rounds or less. Any caliber up to .40 cal.
Simple 6 shot or less revolvers or pistols with 7 in the magazine.
Age 25: More training, testing, and a * 2 more years experience (total 4 years) ( and more community or military service)
Add semi-auto rifles and handguns with less than 10 round capacity.
I would require Age 40 OR a combination of age plus years of military service, totally 40, : plus more training, testing to obtain an "unlimited permit", which would allow any semi-auto rifle or handgun, open or conceal carried.
And I would have a "Senior Marksman-Armed Militia Patriot" rating for those with 50 years of age AND ten years of experience, to have unlimited permit which would include all current "Class 3" devices, including machine guns - M16 to up to .50 cal Ma-Duce.
