COVER DESIGN AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY: Delta Media, LLC Volume 01 - Issue 02 www.concealedcarrymag.com Concealed Carry Magazine Improvements Already! e are committed to continually improving Concealed Carry WMagazine. I will take this opportunity to tell you about what is in the works to make this publication even better. Over the past few months, we have received more “CCM Profile” submissions than we expected. So starting with this issue, we will have TWO profile stories per issue. Most, if not all, of our most recent Profile submissions are coming from subscrib- ers. This is fantastic. It is important that we tell everyone’s story to show that people who go armed are responsible, upstanding citizens. The other exciting improvement is the addition of a regular column by Gabe Suarez. The column will be called “Street Tactics: Reality-Based Gun and Knife Fighting”. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Mr. Suarez, he is the founder of Suarez International, a world-class weapons and tactics training facility. His training courses are described as reality- based, student-focused, concepts-driven and combat proven. I have read two of his books and am very excited that he is willing to join the Concealed Carry Magazine editorial staff. Lastly, I would like to congratulate the winner of our first handgun promotion. The STI LS40 went to Robert Montoya of Grand Junction, Colorado. I spoke with Robert on the phone and he was very surprised that he had won. Congratulations! In closing, if there are any other improvements you would like to see in Concealed Carry Magazine, please don’t hesitate to write or email me. I take each one of your letters to heart as we strive to make this a really valuable publication. Be safe and God bless, Timothy J. Schmidt Publisher / Editor excellent insight into the proper way to carry a concealed handgun, but will also be of great assistance to me!
