And one just below the left nipple between the ribs will kill them. A nice straight on neck shot through the air and food pipes will be successful too, and then into the spine behind that is almost assured. And with a slight miss to the left or right, the carotid artery will produce a fun and colorful fountain.
Seems you're assuming granny's hands will be steady and she'll be emotionally in control of herself when face to face with a bastard.
You can't just give a gun to someone who's never fired one.
Just the recoil will make the gun fly to her face.
One needs to at least know the basics . . . for a chance at not hurting oneself .
So I'd say . . . take her to the range with the gun she feels most comfortable with, take all the precautions . . . including having her wear a motorcycle helmet . . . and let her fire away.
After a few days she can take the helmet off and learn target practice.
That's how I taught my wife to fire.
At the beginning quite a few times the gun flew out of her hands to her face . . . with zero consequences !
Just laughs !
