Wristbands to Match Your Stickers!
The Property Protected By High Speed Wireless Device stickers have been our most popular item to date; and it’s no wonder, they’re simply AWESOME!
Who doesn’t love a big bore cannon and a little humor to go with it?
Just recently we added the “Vehicle” protected sibling to go with the larger “Property” sticker and then someone had the spectacular idea of wristbands for the most important person… You! (Ok, and your family!!!)
We have these new wristbands available in 2 packs right now in our store: click here
Why Wear A WristBand?
I have to admit, I’m probably on the high side of the age span that typically wears theses ever-so-popular silicone wristbands with a message on them – yet there is no age limit!
Young people LOVE them, the “very” old (humor here) don’t see the point…
Let me tell you how I use mine:
Having spent almost all of my life in ILL-inois, carrying a gun is quite foreign to me by nature. And personally I feel that if you are going to get a CCW (or whatever your state calls it) it’s a mindset adaptation in addition to safety and actual firearms training.
You don’t want to be the guy (or gal) who:
- Gets his gun lifted off his belt standing at the counter at Mickey ‘D’s
- Leaves his/her gun in the stall of a public restroom
- Has their gun fall onto the floor at Cracker Barrel and discharge into someone’s leg (or other parts!)
For me, wearing that yellow wristband is just a personal reminder to stay alert, be observant of (in Texas: 30.06, 30.07 signs prohibiting carry), Post Offices and other prohibited sites, and additional safety regarding the firearm itself.
Big Yellow Sign?
When I first posted this on the Facebook fanpage I had one person write the (tiresome) comment of “you’re just warning the perp that you’re armed, never give up the element of surprise!”.
I clicked to reply to the comment and accidentally deleted it – it was late at night, what can I say…
What I was going to write is that, if you let the perp get close enough to you to read your 1/2″ wide wristband, with 3/8″ printing, wrapped AROUND your wrist (look at the pic, can you read it all at once?) – then, you’ve ALREAY LOST!
Why is the perp that close?
You’ve seen wristbands on folks before, how easy are they to read? Do you pay any attention?
People wear wristbands like this for THEMSELVES, and maybe to show to FRIENDS – and that’s why I wear mine. Yet for me, as I’ve explained above, it’s more than a morale booster or show of support kind of thing…
It has a PRACTICAL side as well.
Personally, I don’t think perps pay any attention to my website or products (and I’m OK with that!). So seeing a yellow wristband like this from a distance does not “give up the element of surprise” (sorry, I actually laughed out loud typing that…)
Summary
Wear these cool wristbands because you want to or because it reminds you of your responsibilities as a lawful gun owner carrying in public.
My recommendation? Be prudent, yes, but don’t let fear rule your life.
So…
You want to get yours now? Get ’em here: Protected By High Speed Wireless Device wristbands (pack of 2)
Epilogue
Just yesterday I was walking into the local post office, reached for the door with my right hand and saw the wristband… It made me think to check that I had left my gun in the car and I noticed I forgot to take of the OWB kydex holster. No huge biggie, but no sense freaking someone out either. I went back to the car and took it off.
