Minuteman Concept
According to historical documents the original "Minuteman was brought into existence by the Massachusetts Colony sometime between the 1600 and 1700s, when a militia member was supposed to be able to be ready for combat in less than 30 minutes. The term developed into Minuteman when a high ranking official in the colony selected 30 percent of the members of his militia to be ready at all times within a minutes notice. He was supposed to be prepared with a firearm, 3 days provision, and as much ammo as he could carry. The firearm was supposed to be a long gun no less than 3 feet long. From that tradition we decided to recreate a tactical kit that was easy to carry, easy to store and affordable with modern gear and equipment. Some may refer to this as a Bug Out Bag, Hunting Kit, Survival Kit, etc. However we called ours the Minuteman because of its resemblance to the equipment and ammo that would be expected of a modern Minuteman.
How it was crafted…
I spent some time assembling this kit to meet a price point for the masses and still provide quality. I have customers shooting well under 1inch groups at 100yds with the barrel selected for this kit, and the M&P9 speaks for it's self. The gear belt and mag pouches are current military issue, and Safariland ALS holster's are literally top shelf. The 15inch hand guard comes with 3 rail sections and allows a mounting area to meet your needs while remaining light weight. This is a kit you should take a serious look at.

Since before the birth of our nation, the Minuteman stood as the symbol of readiness and preparedness in the community. Today, the minuteman concept of readiness at the moment of urgent need lives on. The American Minuteman Project from Safe Home Consulting is the embodiment of that concept.
The Safe Home Consulting American Minuteman Project kits were designed from
years of experience in the firearm industry as a student and trainer as well as
military experience, culminating in a package designed for the American
Minuteman of today. The gun belt kit includes current issue molle
belt, dump pouch, rifle and pistol magazine pouches. This allows you to carry
the equipment you need in a comfortable and logical manner. Three Minuteman packages
were designed to meet your budget and take the guess work out of selecting from
the plethora of AR-15 products available today. We understand that product
selection can be confusing, so we made the selection simple for you, while
maintaining the quality, and affordability you expect. We also maximized the
use of American made products!
Whether in defense of hearth or homeland, this package contains the essential
equipment necessary to allow the owner to respond quickly. It is also built
with the student in mind. If you're a member of a range with an in-house
training curriculum, or you're traveling to train with best instructors in the
industry the American Minuteman kit is what you'll need to get started.
The entire kit is contained in a discrete compact, ready to go package. Put it
in the safe, closet, car or under the bed. Grab the bag when the need arises,
and go where you need to with it.
