I understand that our accessory sales amounted to approximately $10,000 which we have forwarded to the American Red Cross for the benefit of those whose lives were disrupted by the recent Gulf Coast hurricanes. We hope this gesture will help bring a measure of comfort to some of the people who have suffered so greatly.

     Unfortunately, it comes as no surprise to learn that sales of firearms have rocketed in that region as well. Where/when the fabric of our society becomes torn and the threat of enforcement disappears, lawlessness is a frequent result. We heard a number of reports of the free-ranging of gangs and of unprovoked personal assaults. In an environment of survival of the strongest, the innocent weak are at a frightening disadvantage, but one which can be countered by the possession of a weapon, typically a firearm.

     In any disaster scenario, be it hurricanes, other flooding, tornadoes, earthquakes, etc., prudent families have a plan of emergency preparedness. Where/when weight and space impact the decision of what firearm to carry, the small concealable handguns from North American Arms are frequently the answer.

     North American Arms, because any firearm is always better than no firearm. Be prepared.
