Gun Tote’n Mamas SHOT Show Highlights

From Tuesday, January 23, through Friday, January 26, Gun Tote’n Mamas’ booth buzzed with interest and excitement at the 46th annual Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. Since this is an industry-only event, we thought we would share with you some of SHOT Show highlights that took place in the there.

First, for those who have never been, here are some SHOT Show numbers you need to know to understand just how huge this industry trade show is. 

  • 13.9 miles of aisles — a distance more than half a marathon
  • 800,000 net square feet — equivalent to more than 18 acres or enough space to park 547 F-16 fighter jets
  • More than 52,000 professionals in the shooting, hunting, outdoor and law enforcement industry
  • More than 2,500 exhibitors
  • Exhibitors, buyers and media come from 115 countries and all 50 states

If you had the opportunity to stop by the bright and colorful booth #43005, you would have seen the latest purses, bags and totes from Gun Tote’n Mamas (GTM) laid out in an attractive display.

Just like last year, Claudia Chisholm, president of GTM, offered new trends and ideas for function and fashion. She continually keeps an eye on the pulse of style and fashion. Claudia also reimagines some of GTM’s best-selling purses with today’s trends and weaves them into the line while always maintaining the integrity and safety of her concealed-carry handbags.

Slings, slings and more slings in different styles, sizes and colors appeared to be a huge hit in the booth. Do you recognize these new reimagined sling styles that incorporate some of GTM’s best-selling purses?  

Saddle school girl Gun Tote'n Mamas

Last year, GTM shrunk the “School Girl” purse down a bit to become the Mini School Girl . This year, Claudia decided to offer this super trendy purse in saddle leather. On a side note, GTM will offer many other styles in this new leather, but we will have to wait to find out which ones.

Speaking of new colors, check out this beautiful ocean-blue leather! It had a lot of attention at the show. It’s bold, beautiful and a super soft leather. 

If you’re looking for a new and super fun leather, look no further than GTM’s new paisley pattern. Isn’t it the cutest? Imagine the adorable outfits you could put together with these concealed carry bags. 

Remakes

With new twists on tried-and-true Gun Tote’n Mamas’ original styles, different designs, fresh colors and new leathers, Claudia came prepared and ultimately, delivered at SHOT Show.

Aside from showing off the line of GTM’s purses, Claudia also had some well-known trainers in the booth. On Wednesday, Vicki Farnam talked about her instructor-level Off Body Carry Course. Then, on Thursday, Donna Anthony spoke about her Online Off Body Carry course designed for anyone who carries concealed. Both shared a wealth of information about off-body carry.
