Since 2010, CCW Breakaways has been delivering 5-Star Quality Concealed Carry Products and 5-Star Customer Service
How It All Began
Jay and Georgann French started CCW Breakaways out of a simple problem: they were licensed to carry concealed weapons, but couldn't find a comfortable, fast, and truly concealable way to do it. After studying several martial arts and becoming a licensed carrier himself, Jay began experimenting with modifications to a pair of pants — and eventually a pocket.
That experimentation became the holster-pocket — a patented design now covering five U.S. patents. Because a full gun grip is established while the firearm is still concealed, the draw is nearly three times faster than from a traditional concealed holster. Two more U.S. patents were awarded to CCW Breakaways for their Skintight Holster.
Why We Do This
We believe that responsible, trained, law-abiding citizens play a real role in keeping their families and communities safe. When seconds count, professional help is often still minutes away — and history has shown, time and again, that a prepared and legally armed citizen can change the outcome of a violent encounter.
This isn't a controversial fringe idea. Each month, national publications document real cases where armed citizens stop crimes in progress — cases that rarely make national headlines. We built CCW Breakaways because we wanted to make it easier and more comfortable for responsible people to carry the tool that lets them protect the people they love.
Core Convictions
God defends the most innocent and weak in society and instructs us to do the same. They should not be preyed upon — they should be protected and cared for. The passages below reflect what we understand God's character to be, and what our own character should be.
For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes. He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the alien, giving him food and clothing.
Deuteronomy 10:17–18
Because of the oppression of the weak and the groaning of the needy, I will now arise, says the LORD. I will protect them from those who malign them.
Psalm 12:5
He is the God who avenges me . . . who saves me from my enemies . . . from violent men you rescued me.
Psalm 18:47–48
Jay and Georgann French believe that all human life is precious and should be protected. Two more stories from Scripture reflect the courage we believe is called for when loved ones or communities are threatened.
When Abram heard that his relative had been taken captive, he called out the 318 trained men born in his household and went in pursuit as far as Dan. During the night Abram divided his men to attack them and he routed them, pursuing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus. He recovered all the goods and brought back his relative Lot and his possessions, together with the women and the other people.
Genesis 14:14–16
I stationed some of the people behind the lowest points of the wall at the exposed places, posting them by families, with their swords, spears and bows. After I looked things over, I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, “Don't be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes.” When our enemies heard that we were aware of their plot and that God had frustrated it, we all returned to the wall, each to his own work.
Nehemiah 4:13–15
If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small. Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it, and will he not repay man according to his work?
Proverbs 24:10–12
As Edmund Burke is credited with saying, “The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” Jay and Georgann French believe that running from evil only invites more of it.
