Personal Defense
Personal Defense is a wide topic: from baseball bats to whips, chains, knives, pepper spray/gel, pepper ball guns, to regular pistols, shotguns, and rifles. Learning basic hand-to-hand defense techniques is also an option and you can often find local classes.
WHEN CONSIDERING FIREARMS, one needs to consider the cost of ammunition. For example, while a 360 pistol is small and compact, the ammunition is more expensive. There are similar small pistols available that use common and cheaper 9mm ammunition. Consider that instead.
Rifles, pistols, and shotguns are used for different purposes. RIFLES are good for hunting. SHOTGUNS are good for home defense and farm/rural use against wild animals. PISTOLS with a flashlight are good for personal and home defense, especially when going outside the home. Also available are reasonably priced BALLISTIC PROTECTIVE VESTS (bullet proof), hoodies, jackets, backpacks, and sling bags are available that use soft armor instead of heavier hard plates. see Bulletproof Everyone.

Home Defense
Home Defense
AGAINST LOOTERS, GANGS, BURGLARS
Every home has security weak points. Secure all entry points (doors, windows), gates into property, out-buildings and sheds.
FOR DOORS - long screws on hinges & plates, and a secure fold-over door latch to prevent someone kicking the door in.
Every home can re-enforce exterior doors by replacing existing screws at the door hinges and strike plate with 2 to 3-inch screws. Some screws are also made of carbon steel for strength. Many other security products are available to prevent a direct door kicking attack, like the door reinforcement lock.
FOR WINDOWS, security film and burglar bars offer reasonable options.
ALARMS & SECURITY CAMERAS that alert your mobile phone upon activity offer great options, but they have their own vulnerabilities. Do your research.
