Tweetable Quotes:
- (Guns) “I became interested first, because of my dad. So, my dad is an outdoors person. He works for the Forester Commission. He got exposed to guns just for safety. My parents live out in the middle of nowhere. Police response time might be an hour.” – Latoya Mitchell Hodges
- “I felt like it was a safety issue. If I ever wanted to be around a gun, or needed to be around a gun, or needed to use a gun, I wanted to be able to know how to handle a gun.” – Latoya Mitchell Hodges
- “Take six or seven women who have never shot a gun, and you train them and put a firearm in their hand, and it is very empowering. I would say it is very uplifting actually to know that, I can actually handle this.” – Latoya Mitchell Hodges
