Today is President’s Day, although it was officially celebrated on the 22nd of Feb. for George Washington’s Birthday. Here’s a tribute from the past to today.
I thought we should take a look back at history on this
Federal holiday. What lessons should we carry forward from our past?
George Washington was a great leader, but what makes a great
leader? Here are some valuable lessons from our former President’s on what made
them great.
#1 Live by a code – a Code of Ethics, Code of Morals, Code of Virtues.
Washington wasn’t concerned about popularity or being liked.
He was a confident man. The opinions of others didn’t define who he was. Where
do these codes exist? The short answer is Scripture. It gives us guidelines for
how to behave; what’s right / wrong; how to treat others, etc. It gives us a
scale of justice.
Incognito Wear IX’s code is that you will Never be a victim. That would entail always being prepared… for the unexpected… attack or potential harm. Be aware, observant of others, or means of escape.
#2. Live with purpose – A purpose to fight for the life and freedom of his fellow Americans. Washington’s sense of duty and purpose compelled him to accept the chairmanship and eventually the presidency. Washington purpose was something Bigger than himself.
Incognito Wear IX purpose is to provide fashionable clothing to conceal self defense tools for your safety and that of loved ones. No one should be without a means of protection. Whether you choose to carry a firearm, mace, stun gun, or stick. No one has the right to you or your belongings. Better to have the gun out of the purse and on the person for quick defense.
When criminals know more of us are armed, trained, and able to defend ourselves; the less crime is committed.
#3. Live for Vision – Washington’s nationalistic vision for
a strong union propelled
our us to be The United States and
not a collection of states.
We design fashionable casual clothing that easily camouflages
a firearm or self-defense mechanism. Incognito Wear IX shares this vision of a
united community supporting the Second Amendment and your right to protect and
defend yourself or others. We are those armed hiding in plain sight. Much like
an owl; we are quiet, observant and blend in. Should we need to defend ourselves,
our fight will be mighty.
A group of owls is called a Parliament; a group of Eagles is called Freedom
We are IWIX Parliament.
George Washington’s life lessons to live by code, live with
purpose, and live for vision can also be expressed as character over popularity, purpose over
pleasure, future over past. (HISTORY is vital for understanding & learning from our past
so we DON’T repeat it)

Not sure what to believe; how to feel about the recent school shooting in Florida? Trying to make heads or tails out of the revolving reports, mis information, and talk of gun control?
There is one thing we should all understand upfront, that is we cannot control evil
… or people (though some may try).
It is hard to understand evil and evil acts. It’s tragic what happened in Parkland, Fl. at Stoneman Douglas High school. No dispute. Let’s take a break for all the reports, blame, hysteria and hype! What we need is time to deal with the sorrow, pain and loss… and a huge break from the blame game! Sometimes in life there aren’t solutions or answers.
I offer prayers for all those who have been affected and are suffering.
So, in order to move forward and protect our loved one; what we CAN DO as responsible human beings?
First off, and it’s probably obvious to most of you, all of us must take responsibility for our own safety. It’s not my job to guard you. I can however, share information that is helpful and can teach you how to be safe. It’s teaching you ‘how to fish’ (so you can then thrive on your own) and not just feeding you.

Times have changed… for good or not so good. What can you do to avoid becoming a victim? How can you stay safe? How do you protect your loved ones? Can we escape crime?
The best way and easiest way to stay safe is to be aware of your surroundings. We are lucky in this country to also have the power to protect ourselves, our homes, and property by the second amendment right. It’s your right to arm yourself if you so choose. There are other good options available as well as pepper spray (OC spray), knives, stun guns or tasers, personal alarms that are loud enough to scare anyone.
I suspect we agree that we want to keep these rights, but just because some don’t want to bear arms, doesn’t mean that you and I should no longer have the option. Luckily, we are a lot alike. I’m not a professional shooter, I’m not a TV talk personality, I don’t have any famous connections or know any celebrities, I’m just someone who wants to protect myself by concealed carrying, on body.
I want to look beautiful, sexy, and stylish even while carrying a firearm.
Please in light of these heated talks, political powerful stronghold special interest groups, reach out to your Senators and Representatives to tell them how you feel about the discussion on gun control, ASAP.
Don’t be troubled, there are solutions. Get some training in protecting yourself and loved ones. Your local gun range is a great place to start in learning about firearms, gun safety, practice shooting and understand your responsibilities should you decide to carry.
