Why are Women Becoming More Interested in Firearms?

For the past couple of years our nation has seen women increasingly becoming interested in purchasing firearms and becoming educated on firearms safety.  This is not a small spike.  It is more like a 65% increase that the firearms industry has witnessed, hence the pink and purple firearms that are now out there along with pink targets and accessories.  SHE CAN SHOOT, LLC headquarted in Centreville, VA was highly responsibile for initiating firearms education and training for women throughout the D.C. metropolitan area by using highly experienced and certified female instructors starting in 2010. Today, SHE CAN SHOOT has over 1800 members just in the Capitol Beltway area, and chapters continue to open throughout the United States.  The education and training is also passed on to each woman's family members and friends as they are allowed to also attend.
