“In a growing trend, many of the pro-gun groups — like the ladies at The Fredericksburg Range — are all women, aiming, as Ovalle explains, ‘to teach a lady how to handle a gun safely.’ The ‘Shooting Divas’ group trains just a few miles away in Virginia, while ‘Gun Powder Gals’ is based in North Carolina and ‘A Girl and A Gun’ organizes some 40 groups around the country. And websites, magazines, merchandise — pink pistols and bra holsters — abound in the growing market. According to polling firm Gallup, 13 percent of women in the US owned a gun in 2005 compared to 23 percent in 2011.”
