Home defense - 12ga Pump Shotgun. Just imagine hearing the sound of a shotgun cartridge being pumped into the chamber in the dark, in a house you don't belong in? Then, if you actually have to fire it, "stopping power" is noooo problem and you don't have to be dead on!
Range - .22 Pistol. So fun, the ammo is way cheap and you can still become proficient with a hand gun. If you want to get good, but you're on a budget, you can't go wrong with a .22. Later, when you get something bigger, you'll already be a pretty good shot.
Like a couple have suggested, I'd also hit up a gun range and check into becoming a member, if you're going to go regularly. The one I belong to my all day range fee is only $8, my wife shoots free with me on Wed(lady's night), they have a family night, rental of the featured gun of the month is free, you just have to buy ammo from them, I get a price break on gun rentals and any purchases and a punch card for free range fee, test fire, ammo, etc. Too, if you're going to buy a gun, advice from a gun addict is not a bad thing, and that's who gets a job at the gun range! Just watch out of the gun snobs; there are plenty of quality guns out there that don't cost an arm and a leg.
