I just went thru this with my neighbor. After giving and giving and helping and helping. I was told "YOU PEOPLE WILL NEVER CHANGE" meaning White people. She yelled personal insults at me, on and on, I would not let her provoke me. I just keep filming with my cell phone. after about 5 mins. she realized I was filming her. That stopped the (XXXXXX) and she shut up and went in the house. I filmed their coming and going for another day or 2. Man did they become paranoid. I have to laugh now, however I am convinced I need to buy a gun.

You're going to get ripped off most likely, but if you don't have a gun already I'd definitely get one. Ammo isn't nearly as cheap as it once was (uncommon calibers like 6.5 grendel and 32 ACP are still about the same price as before) so practicing might get pricey, but you really should have one imo.
Paul Harrell has some good videos on gun buying in this crisis:

My top recommendations would be a cheap AR15 in 5.56mm for home defense, such as from Palm Springs Armory. As far as a handgun for concealed carry goes, there's so many options and sizes it's ridiculous, but I prefer something small that you will always have on you such as a Ruger LCP II or a Glock 42. If you can manage to conceal something larger, then there are much better options of course, just make sure you pick something that you know you'll carry. For me, anything larger than a glock 42 would be a chore to carry and that would mean I'd be less likely to have it on my person 100% of the time. This is what Paul calls "program compliance".

556/223 or any pistol is not for home defense you gangster rap listening-to nigger. I bet you use a wrench to hammer nails into your dollhouse too.
Comprehensive home defense has, and always will be a shotgun. 12g pump action (or semi) and is cheap. Mag always loaded with 2-3/4 buckshot with no round in chamber, (condition 4) or condition 1 with a safety (full mag round in Chamber). With radioactive sights (battery-less sights for dark areas. A cheap mod). kept by the bedside. Pistol for personal carry outside the home. 556 will rip through your walls into neighbors house, and Used for tactical multi targets such as approaching aggressive “protestors”, and large game hunting.
