As we celebrate Martin Luther King day, It’s a good time to reflect on avoiding violence and taking a page out of his life. Taking a page out of Martin Luther Kings’ life. In tough times it takes strong men to discuss matters rather than resulting to violence.
One way, of course, is to avoid it all together. However, if “trouble” finds you, are you prepared and layered up in devices?
Martin Luther King believed we could settle differences rationally. I still believe that today – al beit, it seems tougher these days than those days of old.
That’s why having non lethal tools such as P.O.M pepper spray is a good and useful device for self defense.
Tempers are running extremely high (for some unknown reasons). I’ve noticed that the more stressed someone is, the more likely they are to be short on patience. And, therefore, more likely to potentially have some type of an irrational outbursts.
Take a deep breath, layer self defense tools and be observant to stay safe.

It’s the best time of the year!
There’s sooo many reasons to love this time of the year!
For starters, lets say the Clothing While I’m not a fan of cold weather, I do like to see all the new sweaters and winter items. From great boots and legging, corduroy and let’s not forgot about the holiday festive dresses.
If you’re a new gun owner and considering about learning, or rather getting used to the idea of carrying, you’re going to love this time of the year!
Winter and cold weather clothing make it very easy to begin this new journey. The style, the thickness of fabrics naturally hide the firearm from others being able to notice it.
Another reason to love this time of the year, is BLACK FRIDAY SALES!
I’d like to take this time to encourage you to buy from small business, yes, even Incognito Wear IX. This year our Black Friday is a throw back to tradition. ONE DAY DEALS- FRIDAY! …UNLESS, you get on our the Early Access list.

Personally, I love helping you feel confident about protecting your life. I love that my clothing helps you do it, without looking like you are carrying. Clothing that’s practical; not Tactical. I love making Clothing and holsters that are Made in America. I love supporting American workers.
I love this season! I love the food. I love Hallmark Christmas movies. I love celebrating the Birth of Jesus, my Savior. I love spending time with friends and family.
Enjoy the season. Stay focused. As wonderful as this time of year is, there are others out there looking for an easy victim. Make sure you aren’t one but staying alert, aware and don’t leave valuables visible in you car.

Once a year in North Georgia, women from across the country come together for one Fabulous Girls Weekend!
A full weekend of making new friends and connecting with old friends. Whats the common link among us?
Guns! Yep, we are women shooters! Many of these fabulous ladies are firearm trainers learning and improving their own skills so they can in turn, help others improve their skills.
Conversations around firearms aren’t to welll received in todays culture. This “taboo” label makes it more difficult for some individuals to cross over that “entry barrior” into the shooting sports.
I found learning to shoot exciting and empowering. Yes, safety is a MUST. Building a skill and self confidence is a great reward.
If you are considering learning about firearms for home or self defense, competition shooting, hunting, skeet / trap or just for fun, I recommend taking a few classes with a certified instructor(s).
I highly recommend Shelley and Brian Hill of The Complete Combatant (here in Georgia). Not only are they great shooters themselves, but excellent teachers.
I am so honor to call them “friends” and to be invited to the amazing environment The Complete Combatant has created with The Mingle.
A networking and training weekend for women in the firearms industry.

March goes out like a Lion and April in like a Lamb…. as say they say.
When I think of April, I have good thoughts <3
April brings about beautiful landscapes. Flowering shrubs and trees, daffodils, lilies, tulips, a beautiful showcase of blooming Azaleas.
It seems the allure of springtime also creates an opportunity for bad things to happen.
April is sexual assault awareness month.
Perhaps it should be every month, but as many seniors are leaving the nest, it is a good time to focus on some simple tips to stay safe. Unfortunately, things can happen anywhere, to anyone, at anytime – day or night.
One in three females victims (of either) completed or attempted rape experienced it for the first time between the ages of 11 and 17. SOURCE
When looking or moving your child into school,
- take note of where the campus security stations
- Simple things like not walking alone, especially late at night.
- Know the schedule of buses or trams and when they stop running.
- If you’re studying late at night, make sure to communicate with a roommate or friend.
- Let others know where you are going to be and with whom.
If you’re the parent of a graduating student (or friend), a great graduation gift would be some measure of self defense (for example pepper spray). Layering self defense tools is also a good idea. Having a flashlight, whistle or personal alarm can also be helpful.
Almost one in four undergraduate women experienced sexual assault or misconduct at 33 of the nation’s major universities. SOURCE
I’m personally speaking from experience and it’s one of the events that lead me to start Incognito Wear IX. I experienced frustration and a sense of helplessness.
My daughter didn’t want to talk about the event. So, how do you help your child process though a horrific event. I was shocked to find out that the campus police don’t seem to be too interested in solving, taking on the case, or investigating the event.
Nor do the schools want the publicity of such an event or events.
My daughter wanted to forget the event and want it to “just go away”. I can understand how and why victims are so reluctant to speak out against their attacker.
One reason is the shame. Secondly, the embarrassment of the event and self blame. I believe the biggest reason is the fear of not being believed and having to relieve the trauma over and over.
I hope you or your child Never experiences an assault. It’s a difficult topic to speak about.
I believe getting professional help is critical; even as your child insist “they are fine” – They are NOT!
Emotional trauma should be processed in order to move through the event and on to good mental health.
The best solution for prevention, of course, is to become situational aware of your surroundings. Keep your head on a swivel. Make Eye contact and make mental notes of what you observed.
Again, having a flashlight, whistle, personal alarm, pepper spray, tactical pen, or (if campus carry or of proper age to carry) a firearm.
Be observant. Does it look normal? Would someone wear a winter coat in summer?
I invite you to share with your child the increase usage of date rape drugs, especially common at universities. For this reason, Never leave a beverage unattended.
Awareness of methods of attack are helpful, but what if…. this happens to you or someone you know?
I invite you to check out a few fictional novels that deal with this topic by an author who has experience and training in dealing / processing deep trauma for emotional health.
