About GTM Original

GTM Original, formerly known as Gun Tote'n Mamas, emerged from parent company Kingport Industries LLC, which was originally founded in 1974 as a luggage manufacturer and importer in Winnetka, Illinois.

The company's entry into the firearms industry began at SHOT Show 2009 when they were specifically asked to create concealed carry purses for women.

In 2008, they launched the Gun Tote'n Mamas brand, which has since evolved into GTM Original, focusing exclusively on women's protection products.

As a certified Women Owned Business (WBE, WBENC) since 2004, GTM Original has become a pioneer in fashionable concealed carry purses designed specifically for women's needs.

Today, the company operates from Northbrook, Illinois, maintaining their mission of creating products "BY WOMEN FOR WOMEN" while expanding their reach to over 5 million consumers through strategic partnerships.
