With an uptick in the number of homicides (seven) so far this year, women in South Bend, Indiana, are reportedly flocking to gun stores to gun up against the criminal element, according to local affiliateWSBT 22.
One business owner is catering specifically to this growing market segment of the gun community.
Rebecca Bartol, owner of Femme Fatale, a gun shop in South Bend, sells firearms and accessories that are geared toward women.
Bartol told the news station that she has noticed many first-time customers walking through her doors asking about guns and concealed carry for self-defense.
“We do have quite a few women who come in and are [saying], ‘I don’t have a firearm and I don’t know where to start,’” Bartol said.
