I think that a good dog is the best suggestion for anyone who has limited or no shooting experience. Even if you are an experienced shooter, a dog can give you some advanced notice that there is trouble coming. Many apartments don't allow pets though, and in this case, I would get her a shotgun. Even if she puts that first shot over their heads, I whoever kicked the door in will get out of there quicker than he got in!
