Concealed: She's got a gun by Shelley Calton - book review: Women who carry guns

For three years, photographer Shelley Calton toured Texas in search of ordinary women – stay-at-home mothers, entrepreneurs, ranchers, students, artists, a liquor store and sex shop owner, a criminal court judge, a Texas Ranger, a preacher’s wife – who carry guns.

All claim that if the need arose, if they feared for their safety or that of their loved ones, they would not hesitate to pull the trigger. Calton says: “Some carry a firearm as soon as they leave their house, others only when they feel vulnerable or in potentially threatening situations.”
