Lot’s of informative seminars to help you on your journey to protecting your loved ones. Remember, we are on a never ending journey. Always learning, always training, always being safe.
We’ve all been missing these in person events. Now is time to make your plans to be in Houston. Check out our American Made concealment clothing in booth #2759.
We can’t wait to see all your faces in person.
I’ll be highlighting my newest concealment designs. I can’t wait to See ya there!
What happens during this time of a “New Normal” … and well, crime? Due to “social distancing”, curfews and self quarantines, what does our day to day life look like in the midst of a Covid-19 pandemic and how to avoid becoming a victim.
Are you noticing a Fear of lawlessness… This is why many are becoming first time gun owners.
I’m sure you’ve been inundated with constant updates about the Coronavirus (Covid-19).
We are living in uncertain times. For many the reality of trying to keep our families and homes safe from any looters, break ins, violence or chaos may be more daunting than the fear of the virus. As our daily life structure seems to change everyday, I believe the concern over Martial Law is top of mind more now than ever in our lifetime!
People are scared and this is a wake up call for many about just how “prepared” do you need to be? So, what can we do to become prepared and staying safe?As a member of the concealed carry parliament, first I recommend that keep calm and keep our eyes open – be observant and watchful.
Remember that “panic” behavior is very contagious! Did you buy toilet paper because there seemed to be a run on it?… me too 🙂
And with “panic” behavior, you’re going to see more of a survival of the fittest play out all around you if you haven’t already… This may be a mix of FOMO (fear of missing out) or instinct. Whatever it is, this is translating to large number of gun sales, waiting lines, and a shortage of ammo.
Why? Many people are waking up to the fear that our government won’t, isn’t , or can’t protect you. Are you concerned with how to defend your family?
The silver lining in this scenario, eyes are being opened for the first time and perhaps your friends philosophy about gun control are changing. This epidemic is opening eyes to the power, freedom and importance of our Second Amendment and why it’s so very important to protect it. Get and stay involved with your local elections. Let’s use this opportunity for protecting ourselves, growing number of gun owners; NOT Reducing our Rights.
Do you have a plan? A plan in case of home a invasion? Do the kids know what to do, where to go (hide) until there is a “safe word”? What about a flashlight, cell phone, self defense tool? Do you need a bug out / bug in bag?
… And, what about your finances? Check out this information on preparing your finances for emergencies.
Are
you seeing a spike in crime in your area? In my area via Nextdoor
Neighbor app, groceries being stolen off of front porches, and Amazon
packages. There are shortages of grocery stores, medical supplies, gun
ranges being broken into. Cities are going on lock down. Things are
serious and you need to take what action you can to stay safe and
protect your family.
Here’s some survival skills information, and with kids being home now it’s important to make sure they know Eddie Eagle (children’s gun safety).
It”s our hope during this time, you are able to connect with your
child in a new way or better than before. We are all so very busy and
it’s challenging to balance all of life’s obstacles.
As a Damsel in Defense independent Pro, we have a series of Safe Hearts books that help you talk to your kids about their “personal space”. These story books helps in communicating with your children so they understand what ‘looks’ one way, may feel very differently internally. The perpetrator isn’t a stranger anymore, but is typically someone the child knows. Did you realize 70% of sexual assaults occur before the age of 17?

I don’t know where you live but for us here in Georgia, this winter was not typical. That makes me happy and I’m not complaining about this year’s cold weather. Spring / Summer makes a happy place for me 🙂
I know for me and I bet you as well, warmer weather can be more of a dressing dilemma when it comes to concealed carry. Besides dealing with the heat, Lighter weight fabrics and less layers are big culprits to this dilemma.
So, are you are excited about spring or dreading it? We’re giving you some of the ideal colors to shop for this spring / summer season to have you looking you’re best and some tips to stay cool while carrying.
Here’s a verbal explanation of what this spring’s color palette is about – “Displaying an element of natural sophistication and versatility, this season’s core hues serve as singular color statements or as a foundation for playful color contrasts”.
My interpretation is more solid colors (or small prints) and adding a punch of color accents.
Look for these colors to be blooming this Spring
One bold pop of color this spring is called ‘Flamed Scarlet’ and is a bit of an orange-red color. We feel you’ll be right in style with our red Lion+Lamb. We use a soft, stretch knit with 3/4 sleeves, which is perfect length to cover part of your arms but not too hot. Look to pair and contrast this Flamed Scarlet with blues to greens and yellow colors.
The coral pink in our floral Lion tank is right on que for a warm, welcoming embrace to warmer weather and the soft yellow background invites complete happiness ? of the upcoming season. Our “Lion” tank top is a lightweight fabric and layered with a cotton button up shirt. Wear it either with a few bottom buttons buttoned or tie up the ends to create fullness around your firearm. Of course, when the temperatures rise, roll up the sleeves. I love this look with cropped khaki pants. Stay cool with cotton or linen fabrics.
Floral Lion tank top, special opening for firearm, holsters, pink, peach, green, spring
You’ll see plenty of coral and Biscay green elements very soon if not already. These colors are especially pleasant together.
Fashion Week
Deep Navy and white are pretty universal color staples and are going to be more front and center this spring season. It’s a classic. You will see a come back of the suit look and more blazers, although they’ll be boxy than tailored styling. This is a nice look for the office, teachers, churches and working professionals who carry concealed firearms for personal safety. Look for linen jackets, chambray and cottons that speak of spring. Easter will be upon us soon.
This silvery gray color with a touch of taupe, is timeless and expresses strength and matches the feeling and message of our gray Lion + Lamb, the original crossover concealment top. Don’t be fooled by the others. Because of LION + LAMB is two pieces, you can use a white shirt holster or our 505 Tank Top Holster and carry under the arm with the LAMB outer wrap. Another way to be totally chic and armed.
Spring Neutrals for 2020
Of course, whatever color is your favorite, it’s sure to go perfectly with your firearm! So wear what makes you happy. Remember to stay away from tight fitting and clingy tops.
We want you to feel confident in what you wear and help you ease your morning routine by providing clothing that you’ll look and feel great in and know you can be armed. Our garments give your wardrobe staples without the worry of your firearm printing through your clothing.
Our garments are Made in America and are lightweight fabrics. Remember ,the use of prints, stripes, and floral works well in disguising your firearm. Look for added features like knots and pleats to help minimize printing of your firearm. We have several flowy tunic tops with details that will give you confidence of keeping your firearm undercover.
Be armed, be fashionable and be Incognito! Now, Hello Spring!

Black Friday shopping marked with bomb threats, shooting incident, multiple stabbings
Would you ever expect this to happen on the busiest shopping day of the year?
You may have heard about these stories, all or some of them, and they are tragic, but could it have been prevented?
Black Friday has been a family tradition for years! For us, Thanksgiving is more about making a Christmas shopping list than about the turkey! Excitement builds as sisters strategize about who’s going in which direction (of town) and to which stores. We’ve divided up to concur the best deals and the most savings. So much anticipation about the best shopping day of the year!
Until something like this happens…. and it can happen anywhere!
Amidst crowds of shoppers…
Out of nowhere, in the midst of the crowd comes a scream, people running everywhere, pure PANIC! A knife attack, threat with a bomb or shots fired.
It’s scary! Absolutely frightening! and it’s the last thing you thought would EVER happen to you or around you. So, it begs the question, would this be as scary IF you had a way to protect yourself and loved ones? A way for you to fight back. Even though, the thought of having a loaded weapon on your body may be somewhat scary in itself, or what if you had pepper spray, a personal alarm, your own knife, a taser or stun gun? How would you feel about being in that situation now?
Others are uncontrollable. The who, where and how is what the advantage the criminal has, but neither is the criminal thinking that there may be a ‘fight’ reaction to his harmful plan of attack.
Such is the lifestyle for self reliance, being your own defender and first responder. Becoming familiar with devices for self protection, whether it be non lethal (Damsel in Defense offers many types of self defense tools and can be ordered through my Damsel Pro page) or lethal, there’s something for anyone willing to invest in themselves. We all just have to start the journey to save our lives.
Unfortunately, crime seems to lurk ‘just around the corner’. Don’t be a victim, become situational aware and remove the likelihood of being the opportunity a thief would be looking for.
If you’re interested in learning about firearms for self defense, there are several women organization to look into: A girl and A Gun or The Well Armed Woman, as well as checking with your local range. Some local police departments sponsor self defense classes free of charge.
