Noctournal, welcome to the club!

Although I understand your concerns regarding the kids, one thing to consider is that an unloaded gun is useless in a home defense emergency.

Try to seek a balance between family safety and security.  Because the first time you have an emergency and the gun isn't ready, it's as good as not having one at all.

Noctournal, no offense intended. Lots of folks start with the P99 as a first gun as a 'newbie' to firearms, so they may not be aware of the nuances that go along with being a gun owner.

Agree with baby steps. Get her to overcome her fear. Remember she's probably the victim of brainwashing from decades of anti-gun sound bites in the press and media.
