I agree with the suggestions about improving the home's physical security.
Plan of action in regards to a firearm purchase, IMHO.
1) Get Grandma TRAINING- By learning from a professional, she can learn proper technique, and get quality instruction on using of handguns, in addition to the laws related to firearm use. I know in my state (IN) a person can keep a firearm in the home without a License to Carry a Handgun.
2) get Grandma HER GUN- Once she has recieved some training, it's time to pick out a firearm. Some choices need to be made. Hopefully, many of the questions will be answered based on the training session.
2a) FUNCTION: What will the gun be used for- home defense, concealed carry, bedside weapon, animal pests, etc.?
2b) PHYSICAL ABILITY: What can she fire competantly? Can she rack a slide easily, can she manage the recoil of a 20 guage, can she manage the grip of a revolver, etc?
3) Get Grandma PRACTICE- Keep her shooting, and continue to train as she is able.
