Concealed carry is one of the longest lasting American traditions. As far back as the firearms themselves. America's oldest concealed carry weapons were produced by Philadelphia Dehringer a fine example of the first handgun specifically marketed at concealed carry, which has been copied through the world at that time, thus the name Derringer was born, despite the misspelling of the copy cats.

The concealed carry culture is ridden with popular misconceptions, which people were more unruly at those times, and things were less stable, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Most American concealed carry owners don’t attract attention, because they are law biding citizens who have been exercising their rights in America. The best example of the early American concealed carry culture is in the firearms, so we proudly display some of the mass produced conceal carry firearms from that era.

Washington DC is a prime example of the result from lawful citizens losing their right to concealed carry, when the right to purchase handguns was restricted the murder rate with handguns more than doubled, according to FBI statistics. 

While only a handful a years ago a case of college shooting was stopped during an attempted mass murder, with the aide of two students running to their cars for their firearms.

• Now 48 States have some type of Concealed Carry Permits
• Most Concealed Carry Permits Transfer When Traveling
• Concealed Carry Weapons are Registered, To Prevent Criminal Activities

With so many states adopting or readopting concealed weapons it’s no wonder that new products for personal protection are coming on the market. Perhaps the best example is the sub-compact and ultra-compact pistols. A wide range of concealed carry holsters, as well as concealed carry clothing, designed to safely hold your personal defensive devices.

• Criminals Will Carry Weapons
• Unarmed Citizens Will Be At Greater Risk

The newest breeds of personal protective devices were born in 1990s, and have been especially popular with law enforcement and women. Tasers and other “less than lethal” devices, without training many people can effectively operate these devices safely, without worries. Tasers are a favorite because of their lack of recoil and other fears, they work instantly with incapacitating currents specifically designed to eliminate threats.

Personal safety and security is every one’s business, and we believe that it’s up to each and every person to take responsibility for their own actions and safety. That is why we are avid about the right of lawful citizens to use and obtain concealed carry permits, and provide them with the best selection of resources for their personal defensive use.
