A mother who was raped three times as a teenager is teaching her seven children to shoot so they won't grow up with a 'victim mentality'.

Anna Taylor, famous for her concealed carry corsets, set up a gun range on her rural Kansas property where the whole family fire high-powered weapons together.

The 35-year-old's youngest daughter Savanna, five, is the only one not yet firing live ammunition, only shooting unloaded guns so far.

Seven-year-old Addi says his favorite gun is a rifle, while eight-year-old Dylan prefers a pistol. The oldest child, Samie, is just 16.

Ms Taylor said she and her husband Jason want their family to be 'situationally aware' and fully educated in marksmanship.

'I know that evil exists and I certainly don't live in fear. But it is a reality, and I am the first line of defense for my children and my family,' she said.

'I've heard it said 'I carry a gun because a cop's too big to fit in my purse.' Well that's so true.'

The firearm entrepreneur said she was not concerned about her children being expose to guns and teaching her children to shoot would keep them safe around firearms and prevent accidents.

'I've carried since some of the kids were little,' she said.

After failing to find a workable concealed carry solution for her many weapons, she invented a corset that can carry four guns and a knife

'My second-youngest, she was still nursing and I would carry my gun around my waist so since they've been little they've been up against a firearm or seen it, or felt it, or known that it was there.

Ms Taylor said it was a 'tremendous responsibility' to teach children about guns and you had to be willing to take it seriously.

'If you neglect to teach them safety and respect. and teach them bad habits then that's 100 per cent on you,' she said.

'So from day one I have taught them and taught them how it works.

'Removing the mystery, teaching them how it works, as well as respect for life, and that a gun can be dangerous if misused is what I teach them.'

Ms Taylor's gun enthusiasm stemmed form her teenager years when she was raped three times by different men between the ages of 13 and 18.

'Growing up in Topeka, Kansas, I was very quiet and closed off. It's the quiet, reserved and unsure girls that are targeted by predators.

'What I realized, with the knowledge I have now, it was the victim mentality that I had.'

In her 20s, Anna moved to a rough part of Kansas City with her two children, and recalled how vulnerable she felt after a neighbor was gunned down.

'One day, just down the block from us, three guys kicked in the front door and shot and killed the homeowner,' she said.

'I remember going on walks with the kids through the neighborhood when they were rolling up the bloody carpet to tear out of that house. It was such a vulnerable place to be.

'I thought that if somebody was to bust down my door and intrude at night, I would be very defenseless against them. So I really wanted to get my concealed carry permit.'

With a fourth child on the way, Anna finally decided to buy her first gun, before going on to become a USCCA training counselor and an NRA certified instructor.

Anna now has an impressive collection of guns at home including a Desert Eagle that is fully plated in 24-karat gold.

'I have a Glock 19 and an extra 31 round Glock Magazine,' she said.

'I have a Walther CCP, all 9 millimetres. I have a North-American Arms mini revolver, and a Sig Sauer P238, which is a micro 380. I've got guns in all kinds of colors.'

After failing to find a workable concealed carry solution for these weapons, Anna resorted to sewing a mouse pad to her postpartum wrap.

Pleased with her makeshift design, in 2013 she founded Dene Adams – named after her grandfather – and started producing concealed carry corsets based on her mouse pad prototype

The corsets now allow her to carry up to four guns and a knife at any time.

Years later with her business thriving she has has ambitions to build her business into the number-one holster company in the world.

Asked whether she sees any problem with guns in the U.S. more generally, she said she viewed personal responsibility as the major factor in the debate.

'The U.S. has a personal responsibility problem. The U.S. has a parenting problem. I don't even know how many guns there are in America, but I know it's a lot,' she said.

'When someone does not have personal responsibility or care for the life of others, it doesn't matter what tool they get their hands on.

'If someone has ill intent and they don't have respect for human life, they will find a way to cause harm to others. Definitely not a gun problem.'
