Women have been exercising their purchase power in firearms for over a decade and on February 19th the Holiday Inn in Independence Ohio will welcome two his and hers activities including the Concealed Carry Fashion Show, and the Greater Cleveland Friends of NRA banquet.
Gone are the days when a manufacturer could take a chunky black product, color it pink camo and call it a product for women. Women not only buy guns, they demand products that are functional and fashionable. Both men and women want to store and transport their guns safely but they have different needs in fashion and usability based on ergonomics and body type. So REALIZE F.A.C. (REALIZEfac.com) has organized the fashion show to expose some fifty unique conceal carry items.

The show will go on with the modeling help of Bob Golic- former Cleveland Browns player, Michelle Cerino – editor of Women’s Outdoor News and Charlie Cook of #GunGram fame- the guy with a Glock and a Trumpet. Other models include men and women representing a variety of body types.
A&E’s Channel Viceland will be on scene to film segments for their documentary series titled States of Undress. Having visited Russia, China, and the Congo host Hailey Gates and the documentary crew is now focused on Ohio to cover how fashion empowers women in the distinctly American 2nd Amendment culture.
