They'll be with you all the time? You'll never be in peril of being overrun? In RPG terms I would never consider an unarmed character for the kind of game you're playing.

Your point is certainly valid. As Doug Walkabout pointed out, I have to consider the psychological state my player-character is in. A gun at this point may be too much for her. Even is she had a hand gun prior to her unplanned trip, would she be in a good state psychologically to use it after being transported to a post apocalyptic world?
