Concealed Carry Purses Provide Off-Body Carry Options
When women shop for accessories, we shop for looks as well as function and fit. A common problem with many IWB and OWB holsters for women is that our tops are typically more form fitting than men’s shirts and women’s jeans tend to ride around the hips rather than the waist. This can make it difficult to effectively conceal a pistol on the waist. A common solution, since many women already carry a purse, is to opt for off-body carry and make the purse their “holster”.
There are a number of companies on the market that make purses designed specifically for concealed carry. Features can include a specific pouch or pocket in the purse (or outside the purse) for carrying the weapon. This pocket can be accessible from inside or outside (sometimes both) the main pocket of a purse. Some companies include locking zippers and some even include a cable-lined strap for reinforcement (and to prevent theft). Continue reading
Tedder Industries Launches Bigfoot Gun Belts Line
New Steel-Core Leather CCW Belts From Under the Same Umbrella as Popular Holsters
Bigfoot Gun Belts, a breakthrough company that specializes in making the world’s strongest and most reliable gun belts, is proud to release their highly anticipated Untamed Series to the open and concealed carry world. These premium leather gun belts exude quality and comfort, while providing superior support to your everyday IWB and OWB carry.
Never deal with a sagging holster ever again!
Bigfoot Gun Belts are made with a double layering of English Bridle leather, which is cut to order by a handful of skilled gun belt craftsmen. This drum dyed leather, available in traditional black or rich brown, has been chosen for its legendary strength and long lifetime.
To provide even more strength to this beast of a gun belt, craftsmen at Bigfoot Gun Belts have embedded a spring steel core between the two layers of rich leather. The steel core, available in both the 14-ounce and 18-ounce leather belts, provides handgun owners with a strength rarely seen before (perhaps only from a distance with a shaky camera).
Each of our gun belts go through a Triple Edge Finishing process, which includes a bevel, burnish, and paint done by the industries finest gun belt makers. This creates a smooth and uniform finish and also provides protection to the edges of your gun belt.
To match the strength and quality of the hand cut leather, Bigfoot Gun Belts are made with corrosion resistant hardware that will stand up to the harsh elements. The nickel-plated roller buckle will also allow the belt to effortlessly ‘roll’ through your buckle without damaging the leather, while the snaps provide you with an easy way to swap out your belt buckle within seconds.
Every Bigfoot Gun Belt is backed by our 7-Day Test Drive and Legendary Warranty. This provides you with a chance to test it out with your CCW for a full week with absolutely no risk. If you’re not fully satisfied by this beast of a belt, send it back for a full refund.

You Carry a Gun? What Are You Afraid Of?
Have you ever heard that question? If you have heard it once, you have probably heard it numerous times. You take a firearm with you when you go out to the movies, mall, or church or when you take the dog for an evening walk. You must be afraid of something. Right?
This is the mentality of many people and it’s an odd one. How does someone come to be in such a condition where the first explanation they jump to is fear? One possibility is that they are so afraid of everyday life that they project that same fear onto others. Wearing a seat belt clearly indicates terror at the prospect of being in a motor vehicle. Safety glasses when using power tools? What are ya, a sissy? And just think of all those millions of young ladies living in perpetual fear as they lug around a can of pepper spray on their keychain. Own a flashlight? Ha! Most people stopped being afraid of the dark at a pretty young age. This type must buy Depends by the truckload.
How does having the tools to protect oneself, one’s family, or those around them equate to cowardice? When a hatchet wielding schizophrenic starts trying to dice up the crowd in your theater, bravery must be to hide in the corner and hope his arm gets tired before he chops his way to your child. When an armed madman starts murdering mall shoppers or movie goers, what is bravery? In their mind it must be to run away from the sounds of violence and hope that someone else who thought to bring a gun shows up to stop the attacker before the body count gets too high. These people are a bad joke. Continue reading
