2.1 - 2.5 million...
It is estimated that there are 2.1 to 2.5 million instances where an American uses a gun for self defense against a human threat every year. This number does not include lines of work such as police, military, or security guards.
These estimates are based on a study done by Dr. Gary Kleck back in the early 1990's! Makes you wonder what the numbers are today.
WE THINK BY NOW YOU KNOW WHY OUR CARRY LEGGINGS ARE THE BEST IN AMERICA. WHY DON'T YOU JOIN THE CREW TOO. DON'T WORRY, YOU CAN LEAVE ANYTIME, WE WON'T HOLD YOU HOSTAGE.
Our Mission...
TO GET 100,000 LEGGINGS INTO THE HANDS OF WOMEN ARCOSS THE COUNTRY
SOME NON-NEGOTIABLES
KOA ATHLETICS IS MORE THAN JUST A CLOTHING BRAND, WE BELIEVE IN THE FOLLOWING VALUES
Right to Bear Arms
We understand the depth behind the 2nd Amendment and why it's crucial in the protection of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We will not succumb to big brother and give up our right to bear arms.
Honesty
We are mature enough to admit when we fucked up and will take action in correcting our mistakes.
Supportive
A rising tide raises all ships. We will support everyone on their journey to self protection no matter where they are. Everyone started as a beginner. We don't put people down.
Crew Values
Value Life
No matter how young or old someone is, everyone deserves the right life, liberty, and happiness. We value life at all stages and protect life at all costs.
Fitness and Health
Self protection isn't just about carrying a gun. It's about health, fitness, taking care of ourselves
Continuing Education
When you stop learning, you stop growing. "The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take it away from you." - B.B. King
KOA PROMISE
KOA ATHLETICS WAS FOUNDED ON SAFETY OUT OF NECESSITY. BEYOND THAT, WE HAVE A FEW OTHER PROMISES
American Made: Being American made means safer working conditions, stricter environmental laws, and supporting our country. Manufacturing here also gives us the ability to tour facilities who make our clothing to ensure safety standards are met. Currently our products are made in America with some imported materials, however we are working towards 100% American sourced all the way down to the threads used.
People Over Profit: We care about you and anyone who puts on our clothing. If something isn't right, we will do what needs to be done to make sure you're safe using our products. No matter what that does to our profits. Every life is worth more than any amount of money.
Safety First: We will always create products with safety first. If we're selling something, that means it's been carefully designed and tested. If for some reason we missed something, we want you to share your thoughts and feedback so we can address any issues we may have overlooked. We are human.
