We didn’t choose the name to fit in — we chose it to make a statement. Filthy Civilian is a label that’s been thrown at the prepared, the trained, and the unapologetically free by those who think rights should be regulated, freedom should be filtered, and defense should be outsourced. Governments, agencies, and corporate elites have long acted like the average American has no business owning the same weapons, gear, or mindset they reserve for themselves. They look down at us — the ones who believe in freedom and self-reliance, train on the weekends, and stock up not for fear, but for responsibility — and scoff: “filthy civilians.”

We took that insult and turned it into identity.

Born in the Ozarks, Filthy Civilian was forged in a place where grit, grind, and independence still mean something. We specialize in AR platforms and Glock builds that are built to run hard and survive worse — firearms made for citizens who understand that when everything falls apart, you are the response. No fluff. No hype. Just purpose-driven weapons and gear for those who refuse to be victims.

We don’t build for the benchrest crowd. We build for the ones who drag their gear through the mud, train in the rain, and keep a rifle within arm’s reach — because they know no one’s coming to save them. We stand for the individual who reads history, not headlines. Who values liberty over comfort. Who lives ready, every damn day.

So no, we’re not offended by the name. We are Filthy Civilians — and we’re proud of it.

Stay ready. Stay free. Stay filthy.
