If you are only getting a gun because of what MIGHT happen, and you haven't had one in the past, I would counsel against it. Look into other ways to quell your fears first, please. There are non-lethal deterrents, like pepper spray or a Taser. I also agree with getting an unbiased opinion from a mental health professional on other ways to work on these stressors.
If you are dead set on getting a gun, then at least go take a class on firearm safety before you do this. Better yet, go to a shooting range in your area that will rent guns, and spend a little money to shoot one. You may find that you don't like it. Talk to any friends you might have that already own guns, see what they say about it. Be prepared to practice with your firearm if you choose to buy one - otherwise, you're better off having a bat...
Finally, I really think your fears of insurrection are unfounded. I know that the Storm Trumpers can be scary, but I firmly believe that no matter what, most of them are Americans first. They love their country to much to risk tearing it apart. yes, there may be a small minority that would rather see it burn, but they are vastly outnumbered by those who support Trump mainly because they are scared of all the changes that are occurring today. Change is hard to deal with, and Murphy knows our whole lives seem to be in flux sometimes. I predict that after the election, things will settle back to normal - whatever the hell normal is nowadays...
