Sex trafficking

This is going to sound crazy, I know it. I never thought I'd be posting something so loopy on here but I need help or reassurance something!

There has been some word in my town that sex traffickers are here, some are even going door to door, and trying to push in. Some are following you in the stores. Some come up to you at parks/parking lots. It's been to the point they have even showed up at daycares. Now why something hasn't been done? Idk. Two girls have even showed up to my door, girls who have been described as working for this stuff. Luckily I never answered. My husband works away, so I don't answer the door for anyone I don't know when he's gone. But this has been making me have bad anxiety. I mean I will literally make up scenarios in my mind about them grabbing me or my son. It gets so bad it's like I can literally hear my son screaming and crying for me as they are taking him from me. I know its nutty, but it's real its I cant control. I'm seriously terrified.

It's to the point I want a gun as home defense. I know some are against this, which I'm not here to strike a debate about. We already have guns, well my husband does. But I'm just not interested in them, I like to shoot for fun but that's all I care about. I know basic safety, and all that already since I've grown up around them too. But now I am thinking I do want my own. Idk.

It's just scary. We live in a scary fucking world. And so many people want to sit here and say how it's a hoax but people it's not! This stuff actually happens.

I just dont know what to do. I dont know how to get these scary thoughts out of my head.

*Authorities are already aware, several people have called. But here's the thing.. when they come to your house they are acting as if they are selling something. Police have caught them but apparently they have credentials to show what they are doing is real. They broke into one ladies house while she was there! But since she had no proof they couldn't do anything. So these people are getting off since there is nothing the police can do unless they actually have done something. I even know one of the daycare centers called but they had left by the time police showed up so again, nothing. Its ridiculous.

** the anxiety I'm feeling comes and goes and it's not to the point where I would be unsafe around weapons. I am still aware, and fine its just my thoughts are else where. If it was at all a huge worry I would not consider a gun. I'm not stupid lol.

***We already have a ring doorbell.
