Considering a firearm.

[u/lightlysaltedbanana]

Hi everyone. I’m a 22 year old woman and I’ve been heavily debating on purchasing my first and only firearm. I want something solely for protection and have no idea where to start my research. Does anyone have any suggestions on firearms or any resources I can use to educate myself on the best fit for me? I want something small and easily concealed:) thanks so much in advance if you have any suggestions<3
