You guys!!! I’m so excited to finally share a project I’ve been working on! One of my goals for this year was to get published in a magazine and today, that goal became a reality. “Can a woman really shoot when all dressed up?” This question inspired the article and experiment. After putting fashion concealment to the test, I’m pleased to share the results, which appear in the USCCA’s magazine, Concealed Carry Magazine. You can find the article on the blog and a behind the scenes look, on Youtube!
