Another thing to consider, how common is open carry where you live? It may be legal, but you may also face some bogus charge like disturbing the peace. In other words, is the general public going to freak out if they see her carrying?

Try http://www.packing.org for the information.

EDIT: packing.org shows the min age for a CCW as 18, and Open carry as OK as long as it is not done in a vehicle. May want to look into a CCW, if that is true. If she needs a pistol, buy her one as a gift, it is perfectly legal for an 18 year old to posess, just not buy from an FFL (barring any state laws prohibiting it).
