Tactical Gear Magazine Launches New Online Social Network for Police, Military and Civilian Armed Citizens

Tactical Gear Magazine — published by FW Media, Inc. and Gun Digest — announced the launch of a new online social network geared toward law enforcement and military professionals, and civilians interested in concealed carry and self-defense. When users sign up for a no-cost online membership to the site, they get 8 digital issues of Tactical Gear magazine (a $5.50 value) as issues are released throughout the year.

Tactical Gear magazine, whose motto is You Don’t Pick the Day, the Day Picks You, brings an expert voice to the market — all of its writers are active or retired law enforcement, military, or civilian trainers with years of experience. Writers include Massad Ayoob, Rich Grassi, Scott Wagner, Walt Rauch, Jerry Ahern, Dave Morelli, Tiger McKee, and Kevin Michalowski — the magazine’s Senior Editor who is also a reserve deputy with the Waupaca County (Wisconsin) Sheriff’s Department.

“I understand the importance of officers having the right gear,” Michalowski said. “Properly used it can mean the difference between life and death. Tactical Gear Magazine and now tacticalgearmag.com, will help you be more informed about emerging technologies –– including firearms, optics, less-lethal systems, knives, clothing, support gear and tactics. It’ll keep you ahead of the curve — and safe. And best of all, it doesn’t cost a penny to join.

With your free online membership you’ll get eight digital issues of Tactical Gear Magazine per year, delivered straight to your e-mail inbox. We encourage you to pass this information to any law enforcement officer, soldier or concealed carry practitioner you care about.”

The new site (www.tacticalgearmag.com) exists in a social network environment, which offers users all the features of a content-based website — such as articles and forums — but with the added social networking functionality built in to facilitate more intimate communications between members.

Online members (membership is free) are e-mailed the digital (PDF) version of the 4 printed issues of the magazine as they are released, plus an additional 4 digital-only special editions throughout the year, some of which will include interactive video. Nearly all of the content on the site can be viewed without joining, but members get their own blog and their own “homepage” when they join – and can even customize the look of the site to their own liking.

“What really sets tacticalgearmag.com apart from other sites is the quality of our content, which is a reflection of our industry-leading authors,” said Jim Schlender, publisher of Tactical Gear. “When you’re considering gear and tactics that could stand between you and a potential threat, do you really want to rely on the opinion of an amateur?”
