Best Gun for a Woman

Are you looking for a carry gun or a home defense gun? In my opinion, there is no better home gun than a 12-ga. pump shotgun. Thanks to Hollywood, there isn't a thug out there who doesn't know and fear the sound of one being loaded. Plus, you don't kill your neighbors like you can (potentially) do with the overpenetrating and overhyped 9 mm.

just an opinion, I know there are lots of 9 fans out there.

A shot gun does have its moments, but I'm looking for a gun that I could carry when I felt like it. I'm not a hyper "shoot at ever stray noise" type. If I pick up a loaded weapon, I make very sure I know what I want to point it at first. Maybe I should add that I often go off alone on 4 wheeling adventures in the Rockies, so I might need one for a big cat (unlikely since they seldom go after humans and if they do, you won't know until too late), or a grizz if I go up north. A shot gun would certainly take care of a grizz, but its a pain to lug around.
