Do you live in an apartment or somewhere with close neighbors? If so you need to take into account bullet penetration. Ultimately you are responsible for every round that fires out of your gun.

Are you comfortable shooting certain types of firearms? Do you require a simple firearm? While ideally a semi-auto firearm is preferred there is nothing wrong with a pump shotgun or a revolver.

And since you are asking this question on CE I highly recommend taking a self defense class and general firearms classes.
