Constantly worried, considering carrying

I know some people are against guns and I totally respect that but

as a first time mama and being away from family due to my husband’s work I’ve considered talking with my husband about getting a handgun. He has crazy hours and sometimes is away for days-weeks depending on their training. We have 2 big doggies who I know would scare anyone trying to get close to us but I also want to take the extra step

Literally every time I turn on the TV or scroll through my newsfeeds there’s stories of little babies getting taken, home invasions, stalkers at grocery stores etc 😳 it makes me physically sick to my stomach reading these stories and thinking how innocent children could are being harmed, physically sick to stomach and angry there are people who do terrible things

I’ve been shooting before but currently we don’t own our own handgun. I have mace with me and a taser, and right now I haven’t taken our LO out with me alone unless my husband is there too. I hate to be paranoid about these things but I will do anything to protect our LO. He deserves to live in a world without fear and enjoy life and I want that so much for him. 💕

Any other mama’s out there feeling the same?! Open to all opinions!
