Why have this site

This site is owned by Steve Aikens and Gary Slider. We firmly believe in the Second Amendment, Concealed Carry and the fact that we have both a right and responsibility to take a pro-active position in our personal defense. Unfortunately, we recognize there are so many variances in our state to state laws, the average individual may have difficulty keeping up with those laws well enough to prevent them from breaking the law, especially as they travel. Since we have the ability to research those laws and create an informative Concealed Carry specific site, we have done so.

20.88 Million Concealed Carry Holders in 2025.

We are a Database of Information on Carrying Firearms legally for Self-Defense. As we have time, we continue to add basic, related information. However, this site is focused on Concealed Carry. That is all we will try to be.
