Female Immigrant Gun Owners in DC VA MD or CA for Feature Story

Hi everyone — I’m a journalist working on a feature story about legal immigrant gun owners in America. The story will focus on personal experiences — why people choose to own firearms, what it’s like navigating the legal process, and how background and culture shape those choices. No politics. I’m especially interested in female gun owners or people from underrepresented immigrant backgrounds (Filipino, Vietnamese, Chinese, Latin American, etc.) living in the Washington DC/Northern Virginia/Maryland area or in California — especially around San Francisco or Santa Cruz. If you’re open to talking (even anonymously), please message me. If you're curious about my full name or who I'm writing for, feel free to DM me. Thanks for considering — and feel free to share or tag someone you know.
