Remington Model 580 .22-caliber with 4x scope
Remington Model 870 20-gauge shotgun

Nothing fancy, but more gun than has been in my house in 15 years.

Next up: securing the guns, finding a local range where my wife can get basic instruction in target shooting and gun safety (she hates it when I try to teach her stuff), zeroing the weapons and finding time to go shooting.
Very nice. There are ranges all over the place that will help teach. You may also check out a hunter's safety course. Even if she does not plan on hunting, there is some good information she can take away.

Here is a site where you can find ranges near by.

Jones:- I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the range.

Interviewer:- Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?
You're equipping them to become violent killers.

Jones:- Well, you're equipped to be a prostitute but you're not one are you?
