In this July 19, 2017, photo, Corelle Owens poses for a portrait in Decatur, Ga., while holding a Glock 40. Owens is a 45-year-old resident of Mableton, Ga., and flight attendant. She's among the ranks of the nation's black women who are learning how to use a firearm, deciding to go to the range and learn how to shoot after her car, phone, tablet and wallet were stolen in March. She's thinking of purchasing a revolver, considering it an ideal firearm for home protection. Thieves, she said, "they're armed too so what are you going to do if you don't have a gun?" She's intent on perfecting her skills and learning as much as she can on the safest ways to handle a firearm. "I work in a job where safety is paramount and I want to do it the right way."
