As far as mace or sprays are concerned, those are for stunning an assailant to securing your own retreat, and aren't intended for "defend in place" situations like home invasion since they don't stop the threat.

If that's truly the objection to the gun, then what she needs is a biometric gun safe...
It will keep the kids out, but can be opened in 1 second flat.
Outside of that, she's crazy to confront a potentially armed intruder with a bat or spray. When you confront someone in a life-or-death situation, you want a significant advantage, and you want the confrontation over as fast as possible. She's better to find a nice place to hide until the intruder is gone, or even to suffer at their mercy without confrontation, than she is confronting them with irritants or contests of strength. THAT will more likely get her killed. That would be my advice to her... no bat.
