I grew up in Brooklyn, New York, out of the 70s.
Back then, it was a very, very tough neighborhood and a lot of crime.
And my mother was very strong in the church, and she forbade me to have any sort of guns to play with.
So I couldn't even play with a water gun.
Charles' view of guns really changed after President Trump got a second term.
And Charles began to think a lot differently.
And Charles isn't the only person in his household thinking about self-protection.
When I met him at the range, he'd also brought along his daughter.
Her name's Charlie.
She's 19 years old.
But there she was, pointing a pistol at a target, working on her aim and technique.
Charlie's here at the range with her dad to learn how to protect herself.
Of course, she worries about random crime.
She also is afraid of being targeted because of her race.
The day after the election, a man drove onto her college campus and yelled racial slurs at Black students.
Knowing how to shoot, how does that make you feel?
