If you do convince her to get a gun for protection please take her shooting regularly. I think it's pretty well known that weapons can be used against their owners if they don't have experience or the confidence to use them.
The best way I think to make someone feel comfortable around guns is education. NRA basic handgun safety class. Then familiarization with a firearm and then a range trip.
That's just my opinion on what I will do with my sister in law so she wi eventually let me teach the kids about guns.
