    Looking for rifle recommendations

    I would go for a magazine fed bolt action .22LR with open sights so you can learn the basics of shooting a rifle. There are several good ones on the market. I like Marlin.

    Shooting at Uvalde Texas elementary school

    She has no experience handling firearms. She is a gentle soul.

    I spoke to a local police officer at a social event we both attended about a pedestrian struck by a pickup truck in town two weeks prior; he said the driver of the truck had a Glock under the seat. He then stated more than half the guys he does a traffic stops on have a legal pistol with them.
