We believe strongly in personal responsibility. We believe the individual is responsible for his own personal safety and security. We believe each individual is to be held accountable for his deeds, good or bad. We also believe in chivalry, or at least in being polite, courteous, and civil. This is an often overlooked aspect of the warrior tradition.

Our logo reinforces this vision of the armed warrior gentleman (or lady). The top hat reflects the gentlemanly social aspect of our lives. The cane serves as both a social symbol, and a very low key, low profile impact weapon. Like us, the cane is benign and helpful, unless pushed into violence. The pistol represents our defensive readiness to act when necessary to protect ourselves or our families.

The prepared, confident, self-assured gentleman-- a member of the Polite Society.
