You've basically just referred to negative aspects. Everyone needs protection and for her its a pellet gun.
That is because there is little in the way of positive aspects to warrant this as a wise choice, which was my point for laying out all the negative things.
Plus if she can get a real gun then I won't calm down unless she can guarantee she won't get it taken and have it become more power in the bad guys hands. Mind you if she gets a real one then she has to store it properly which means she'd never have time to pull it out in a home invasion.
There also has to be a reason she is targeted so often as well. Could be dumb luck but even in Winnipeg's north end that many times is unlikely dumb luck. She should look into dealing with the reason she is targeted maybe.
