Tim's Thoughts - Aug/Sept 2007 A few weeks ago, I attended a three-night, Cub Scout camping trip with my son, Tim Jr. We both had a fantastic time. As you can imagine, there were all sorts of fun and educational activities. But I have to admit . . . keep reading

A few weeks ago, in my weekly e-mail newsletter, I took a brief departure from my normal recipe of humor, entertainment and valuable information. If you happened to read it, you're probably thinking, "Yeah, Tim, that's when you YELLED at your customers!" . . . keep reading

 TESTIMONIALS
Here's what our members are saying ...
"Your website and magazine have many helpful articles and most importantly, an opportunity to hear from like-minded people who take self protection seriously.For many of us that carry it has been both an "evolution" from thinking about carrying to a full-time commit-ment and a "revelation" that we can enjoy freedom to protect our loved ones from attack.

U.S. Concealed Carry addresses absolutely every self-defense issue of concern to intelligent Americans today, provides vital information regarding products, services and organizations relevant to concealed carry and communicates critical self-defense information.

I am writing to express my complete satisfaction with U.S. Concealed Carry. I find your no-nonsense, real world focus, to be a refreshing change from other gun publications. I found the CCM Profiles to be especially good. It was good to see other concerned citizens speaking out on CCW matters. It makes the rest of us feel less like “gun nuts” and more like a community of concerned and squared away citizens.

Just a quick note to let you know that I really appreciate what you are doing and the courage it has taken for you to be “just a regular guy” who cares enough to do something worth doing! You are to be congratulated for your commitment and your convictions. Both have motivated me to do all I can to “spread the word” and to “protect our rights.”
