If your grandkids are old enough baseball bats are easy for them to handle as well as mace & a flashlight in strategic places. I hear of so many incidents with kids being home alone.

Get her one of these she can ride it into battle...er home defense.

Pistol would let her more easily open doors, or corral kids. I prefer a long gun, but I don't have to mess with kids either. Then either electronic hearing protection so she doesn't go deaf shooting it indoors. Suppressor would do as well, but that's extra paperwork, and more money. I just drape my earmuffs over the stock and have it propped up next to the bed. Then a light on either the pistol or a small handheld depending on what ya'lls thoughts on that. If you go long gun instead, definitely a light on it.
