( Well, possibly ) 
I was having lunch today with a few people from work, one woman spoke of last night " About 1:30 in the morning a man was standing at my front door, no shirt ringing the doorbell." She had her phone in her hand waiting to call the police, he eventually left without her calling.
She explained the fear her children had, she happens to live alone with them; I told her how many crooks 'scout' homes this way, just before kicking in the door. We got onto the topic of firearms for self defense and I eventually offered to give her a loaner firearm, she then asked if I would take her to the range.
She told me she's "Very scared" of the idea but she's more than willing to learn, if you ask me that's all she needs is an open mind. I'm going to take her and my wife to the range, all I need to do is get a .22 pistol ( maybe a walther P22 or a Misquito ).
If anyone has one they're willing to sell, or even loan me, I would be more than willing to put up a cash deposit until I return the firearm. Other than that, I'll simply find one to buy.
She didn't seem too bother by her situation last night, this would have put me in condition red; at the door with a firearm in my hand. I explained to her "When seconds count, the police are only minutes away" that seemed to strike a nerve.
Does anyone have any tips on how to keep her nerves calmed, I'd like to take the girls to a quiet range like MCF&G but I don't have a membership yet.
Any tips would be helpful, thank you.

I don't have a .22 pistol, but if she feels like venturing beyond the starting gun...might help her to see a woman shooting a full-size Glock or a 1911. 
for adding one to our team, no matter how tentative it is right now. I've never met a woman who didn't become a complete convert after actually experiencing shooting a firearm.
