I would highly recommend taking a first time gun class which is offereed pretty much anywhere. It would cost about $80, and they give you practical gun info, few legal info, and concludes with class in gun range. Google the class in your area.
if you've no experience with guns, and want to practice a lot with your first gun without costing too much in ammo, then you can get a 22LR semi-auto like Ruger, P22, or buckmarks, etc. These good .22 guns are around $300 which is about half of a good 9mm guns. The price for 22 LR ammo goes for about $17 for 500 rounds.
However, 22 cal is not primarilly for the self defence. It is more for practice in range, and making you comfortable with shooting, and polishing your skill.
If you're looking for a self defence gun, and you've no experience with guns before then, I would recommend getting a 9mm semiauto. Glock 17 or 19 is a good option, so are M&P, XDs, etc. These go around theprice range of $500. The price of ammo for 9mm is about $17 for 50 rounds.
If you're looking for even more effective force of bullet, then you can go for .45 cal. However, I wouldn't recommend this higher cal, although it's popular these days. First the price of guns in 45 cal goes for over $800. Second the ammo price is about $17 for 20 rounds. Third, if you don't have any experience with guns before, then the force or recoil, the heavy feel might discourage you from carrying the gun. Also .45 cal handguns are usually large and there's few models for concealed carry.
one thing I would like to point out is that if a person buys a gun, then he usually buys more than one gun in his lifetime. You will know what I mean later.
So my advice to you is get like 22 cal semi auto for now. Get good practice, and be comfortable using a gun. Then you may go with higher cal for self defence. you can also keep your 22 cal, and keep it in your family for others to practice.
