You should never let it out of your sight or within accessible distance or opportunity to strangers or little hands. In the case of concealed carry purses, we strongly advocate practice. Like any tool, it performs best when you practice with it, take it to the range regularly and draw from it. This is true whether you decide to store any other kind of self-defense tool in our special, separate and secure compartment be it pepper spray, mace or taser.

Christopher drew matching pistols "engraved" with our logo and placed over the phrase "Keep Calm and Carry Chic." We couldn't be happier with the results to celebrate our line of luxury leather concealed carry handbags.

A lot of the apprehension regarding the right to bear arms is because people are uneducated as to how weapons can be kept and used safely. Unfortunately, unless you were raised in a gun culture community, trade shows like Shot Show don't necessarily create an engaging environment to introduce newbies to the gun world. They are meant for industry insiders. That being said, if you have any interest in learning about guns and the industry in general, Shot Show is the place to be. While intimidating at first, the people here are some of the nicest and most educated people we've met in the industry.
