August 01, 2018 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- The need
for concealed carry products is exploding and American Rebel is
ahead of the game. Founder and CEO Andy Ross wanted a
backpack for his every day use that would allow him to
be
concealed and safe. Like him, he knew men and
women would prefer concealed carry products
designed with quality in mind that would fit
their lifestyle. Not everyone wants to go through
their
daily activities carrying military-style packs
and wearing military-style clothing. In fact, if a
product
is available that meets a person’s appearance
expectations and culture, that person is more likely
to
conceal and carry a handgun. People are unlikely
to change their sense of style just to be able to
carry.
American Rebel fulfills this need with a variety
of appealing styles made from quality materials with
interactive technology as evidenced by its US
Patent No. 9,984,552 that covers American Rebel’s
innovative Concealed Carry Backpacks, Luggage,
Purses, Clothing, and other items one would carry.
The Market is large:
•
Concealed Carry Handgun Permits soared by 1.83 million since last
July, a record for the fourth
consecutive year.
•
Total number of handgun permit holders rose to 16.3 million as of
2017, with the highest
increase being women.
•
Additionally, at least 11 states have passed laws allowing the
concealed carry of guns without
a
permit and 16 states have introduced legislation this year to do
the same.
American Rebel has the right products,
marketing, and brand to capitalize on the unmet need
identified by its CEO Andy Ross. The brand
benefits from Andy’s ten-year stint hosting his
hunting show Maximum Archery on the
Outdoor Channel/Sportsman Channel. That show evolved
into the American Rebel program. And
before there was an American Rebel company and an
American Rebel television show, there
were the songs “Cold Dead Hand” and “American Rebel”
that Andy wrote and recorded, laying the
foundation for America’s Patriotic Brand. Previously, Andy Ross
successfully designed and brought a new line of law
enforcement/security products to market during his tenure as CEO of
Digital Ally, a company he founded in 2004 that is still trading on
the NASDAQ market today. In fact, the entrepreneurial foundation
that Andy benefited from when he founded American Rebel and Digital
Ally was laid by his legendary father, Bud Ross. Bud
founded Kustom Electronics in 1964 and Birdview
Satellite in 1981. Kustom and Birdview were
both pioneering and wildly successful public
companies that identified opportunities and met
needs for consumers.
