Can confirm, my sister picked up a Glock 43X a couple of weeks ago and I plan on getting something for myself this year.
Have you two been able to find firearms training? There are a number of inclusive firearms instructors you can get training from. I also recommend a stop the bleed class for new gun owners(or for anyone really).
+1 for taking stop the bleed.

Political violence should not be the first choice, but "never use force" feels naive.
