“…among the best gun owner resources available”

"When I saw your membership ad in American Rifleman it took me 2 minutes to decide to become a member.

I just got my second CCM magazine and it is among the best gun owner resources available…Thanks for a great publication and already I can't wait for the next issue."

“…I look forward to every issue, read it front to back when it arrives”

“I moved to Arizona from California about 10 years ago. Needless to say, I’m much happier. Your publication is a breath of fresh air. I’ve been a subscriber from the very start.

I look forward to every issue, read it front to back when it arrives and display it proudly on my coffee table for all of my friends and family to read. Keep up the great work.”

Michael Savenye Kingman, AZ

"…always wait with anticipation of the next issue"

"FINALLY, a magazine for me! I'm not a: hunter, police officer, bounty hunter, soldier, soldier of fortune, gunsmith, gun collector, camper, urban warfare specialist, political activist, secessionist, re-loader, wilderness recluse with interest in bomb shelters, MREs and windmill electrical generators. I don't know how I got on so many mailing lists, but someone presumes I fit those categories plus more.

Until recently, I've had to purchase all kinds of magazines to get pieces of helpful information about concealed carry. That ended with the advent of your magazine… excuse me, MY magazine.

My wife and I have thoroughly enjoyed every issue and always wait with anticipation of the next issue. Concealed Carry Magazine 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.

Thanks. Please keep up this good work!"

"…easy to read without a lot of jargon"

"I received and quickly read my first issue of Concealed Carry Magazine from cover to cover! It is very informative and easy to read without a lot of jargon.

Congratulations and thank you for a magazine for those of us that do carry concealed! …Thanks again on a great magazine and keep up the good work!

Martina Harman

"…up after midnight reading it from cover to cover"

"I received my first issue of CCM. I really enjoyed the information in it. Even though I am working a 12 hour schedule, I stayed up until after midnight reading it from cover to cover. Keep up the good work!"

E. Henderson Jr.
Ohio

"…I find the magazine hard to put down once I start reading"

"Keep up the good work. I have been a subscriber since the beginning. I only missed the 1st issue, and a few that never made it. Which brings me to the first thing I want to say; I appreciate the magazine being mailed in an envelope. I don't mind sharing my magazine, but there were a few I never received and some others that looked like they were read by the whole postal community. So, thank you!

I really like that you run your articles page to page. I hate skipping from front to back, over and over.
Also I must commend you for not leaving GOD out. Our forefathers were GOD fearing good folks and just because I choose to trust in myself for defense/protection doesn't mean I am not a Christian.

I find the magazine hard to put down once I start reading. I especially enjoy Gabe's views and input. I wish there were more pages, as the end comes to soon, and I am stuck waiting for the next issue.

R. Carter
Seligman, MO

"…I hate finishing CCM just as one hates finishing their favorite dessert"

"I have received several issues and I am thoroughly convinced that Concealed Carry Magazine would be the ONE magazine to choose if only one magazine was allowed to each person! I just put up a post to those of us in "Nebraska Gun Owners" yahoo group recommending the magazine. I even said that I'd send one of my copies to the first person who provided any sort of postal address.

Thank you for placing one article right after the next, rather than having us page through the entire magazine to finish one article. Also, thank you for providing the content that you do!

I hate finishing CCM just as one hates finishing their favorite dessert..."

"…I was very impressed"

"I was very impressed upon looking over and reading my first issue of Concealed Carry Magazine. I was especially impressed with the CCM Profile article about Kate Graham. I could really relate to where she has been and where she is coming from. Your magazine looks like it has a bright future."

Alex Alicki Sr.
Cairo, NY

"…full of great and relevant information"

"Kudos on another great issue, May, 2005. It's full of great and relevant information.

I'm especially impressed with your journalistic integrity as reflected by George Hill's excellent review of the Springfield Ultra Compact 1911. His honesty is refreshing.

I have no doubt that had he submitted that article to any other magazine (save one that takes no advertising, but doesn't accept outside tests), it would never have made it to print in the form that it did.

Not only is George highly entertaining as a writer, but he tells it like it is and pulls no punches…"

Dr. Neal Trent
Fort Hood, TX

"…an opportunity to hear from like-minded people who take self protection seriously"

"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 commitment and a "revelation" that we can enjoy freedom to protect our loved ones from attack."

Norbert Quenzer
Delmar, NY

"…a refreshing change from other gun organizations. "

"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 organizations..

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."

Keith Robb
Cuyahoga Falls, OH

"…much more focused than any other defense or gun-oriented magazine"

I congratulate you for creating U.S. Concealed Carry and Concealed Carry Magazine, and that you are still surviving!

Before CCW became commonly lawful across the country, magazines like Guns&Ammo and American Handgunner from the 80's and early 90's, would discuss concealed carry... but their editorial posture was so prudish towards decent people carrying illegally, that their tone seemed oriented to an audience of police and detectives only.

I have been a subscriber since last year and I find Concealed Carry Magazine and U.S. Concealed Carry to be more substantial, and more directly oriented to decent people like me. It is much more focused than any other defense or gun-oriented magazine.

Karl George,
Wisconsin

"…I cannot wait until my next issue"

"I just finished reading my first issue of Concealed Carry Magazine, and it was fantastic! I really enjoyed the article, "Armed Senior Citizen" by Bruce Eimer.

Even though I am not a senior citizen (I am 48), I could relate to a recent run-in on my property at 2:30 a.m.. I was able to evaluate my performance and lessons learned after reading the article.

I thought all the articles were great and informative. I cannot wait until my next issue."

David Benson
Bakersfield, CA

"…my wife's opinion about carrying for herself has been turned around totally"

"I consider your publication the most informative and focused on the issue of concealed carry. Having it in my house has allowed me to address several individuals' questions about concealed carry and what their responsibilities are as citizens.

Most importantly, my wife's opinion about carrying for herself has been turned around totally, such that now she is scheduled to take a CCW class after the holidays, and she has begun going to the range with me to practice.

Given her travels around the busy city of Houston in her occupation, knowing she can protect herself gives me a lot of peace of mind.

I attribute this change in her attitude entirely to your publication."

Scott Meador
Richmond, TX

"...one of the best magazines out today."

First, I want to say that CCM is one of the best magazines out today and thank everyone on the staff for the excellent work!

"...I've learned more … than I have in 6 years worth of reading OTHER firearm magazine publications."

"For years, I searched for a type of magazine like yours and have subscribed to several other publications completely unsatisfied with the lack of information about carrying concealed firearms, until I found yours.

I am a detention deputy (correctional officer). As a detention deputy, I deal with societies most violent and dangerous people. It's not uncommon for inmates to threaten myself or other correctional officers while we carry out our duties as jail officers. Since inmates have nothing else better to do while they are in jail, they have all the time in the world to study our faces and habits so they can easily recognize us once they return to society.

On several occasions, former inmates have recognized and approached me when I was off duty with my family. It is for this reason that, years ago, I chose to carry a concealed firearm with me when I'm off duty.

Many correctional officers, including myself, were never trained how to safely carry a concealed firearm when we attended the corrections academy. Since many correctional officers have no special arresting powers, the thought of us carrying firearms off duty was never considered while we were in training.

After reading just one issue of Concealed Carry Magazine, I've become more knowledgeable in carrying my firearms concealed and concealment holsters than I have in 6 years worth of reading other firearm magazine publications.

As a new subscriber, I'm very excited and looking forward to many years of valuable information from Concealed Carry."

"…renewed my membership for a second year… looking forward to another great year…"

Just logged on and renewed my membership for a second year! So glad I found this website and this group of like-minded, stand-up people! Tim, thanks for the discount on renewal, I would have paid regular price!

Looking forward to another great year of learning from you-all! Finally got my Kansas permit, so proud to be able to protect my family legally. Also received my Utah permit, so I can carry in several states. So much to learn.

Keep up the great work. I hope to be able to add some to the topics from time to time.

"…I found the articles refreshing and enlightening… your magazine answers my questions"

"First of all, let me say that I have never written to the editor of any magazine before. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading both the introductory issue (during which I subscribed to the magazine) and the March/April 2004 issue. I found the articles refreshing and enlightening.

The article on the G36 was very timely, as I recently purchased this firearm; and, I would agree with another reader that the magazine not be dedicated to Glock only, but to all concealed handguns, accessories and uses.

I do not need to know how many lands and grooves the barrel has, how the ejection system functions, what the muzzle velocity was, or how far into gel the bullet travels...If I need that information I can find it in any other gun magazine.

I need to know what I can carry, how best to conceal it and how to use it in many different situations. I believe your magazine answers my questions.

Sincerely,
John -TEXAS

"…I subscribe to several gun magazines, and yours is the most relevant…"

"…I wanted to let you know how much I continue to love the magazine! I subscribe to several gun magazines, and yours is the most relevant and thought-provoking for everyone who has made the choice to carry a concealed handgun…Thanks so much!! Keep fighting the good fight!

"…Your reporting seems to be factual and honest"

"I'm a new member. I signed up for the three year special after seeing your advertisement in American Handgunner magazine and viewing your website.

...I'm really enjoying my membership and my first issue of Concealed Carry Magazine.

…I'm looking forward to even more benefits of membership-as your organization is relatively new on the scene-and hasn't yet fallen prey to the big money.

Your reporting seems to be factual and honest and you're still covering training and accessories that don't empty a needy person's wallet.

…I'm more grateful than you will ever know.

...Thanks for all you've already done. One satisfied member!"
