There's no accurate count of female gun owners, but a 2015 report from the National Sporting Goods Association found that 5.4 million women said they went target shooting. That's up 60 percent since 2001.
There are several reasons women don't openly carry. Many of them simply don't want to draw attention to themselves. Then there's the logistics of actually wearing the gun.
"Most concealed- and open-carry holsters are made for men," says Carrie Lightfoot, CEO of The Well-Armed Woman, an online store based in Arizona. She says a woman's body shape and size are important considerations when it comes to open or concealed carry.
"For example, a 32A bust could not conceal a Glock 19 very well – nor would a 42DD or a larger tummy allow for effective cross-draw carry," she says.
Lightfoot sells bra holsters, concealment leggings, lace waistbands and leopard print gun holders for cars. She says sales are up 130 percent since the summer.
Still, the vast majority of women don't openly carry. And that means one of the hottest accessories is the concealed-carry purse, which is Kate Woolstenhulme's business. SNIP...
Note to manufacturers: Stop the gaudy accessories! Conceal carry + obvious CC purse with rhinestones all over = neon sign. Gun shows are full of this stuff that women just walk right past.
