Customers travel in from El Paso to Lubbock to take classes with Arthur Kuo, one of the only Mandarin-speaking gun instructors in Texas and owner of Chinatown's last gun shop.
More recently, high profile crimes that weren’t racially motivated but happened to target Asian Americans also sparked fear. In January, separate mass shootings in Asian communities in Southern and Northern California killed a total of 18 people. In February, when the woman robbed and paralyzed in Bellaire, Kuo remembers seeing the video go viral on WeChat, a popular social media app among Mandarin-speaking Americans.

He spent the next three decades collecting and shooting guns as a hobby while he traveled and worked in real estate. In 2015, he witnessed a new type of gun shop open in Houston: one owned by two Asian American law enforcement officers that served mostly Asian American clientele. When customers enter the store and ask to look at one of the unloaded display guns, Kuo watches them carefully. He observes how people hold the gun, where they point it — signs that tell him whether customers have been educated about guns. Very often they haven’t been, and he’ll direct them toward his class.
