Our Story

With roots in Florida and a deep history on Maui since 1992, Johnnie Clark is intimately familiar with the unique safety & security needs of the community. As a father of five, he was driven to action by his own personal experiences including burglaries, violence, and struggling with seeing these threats impact his children. This emphasis on a need for mitigating risk and helping to ensure a safer environment for himself and his family is what led him to establishing Always Ready – Safety, Self-defense, Security.

At Always Ready, we are dedicated to providing highly effective non-lethal self-defense solutions for individuals, families, and local businesses. Our mission is to empower everyone on Maui, by providing top-quality tools like Axon TASERS and PepperBall launchers to help defend themselves confidently and responsibly against threats from both people and animals.

We believe that safety is a fundamental right, and we strive to make our community safer, one person at a time. Our team is passionate about survival skills and emergency preparedness, and we are committed to sharing our knowledge with our customers. Join us as we embark on this journey to create a safer environment for all. Together, we can make a difference!

As we prepare to launch our new location, we are focused on creating a welcoming environment where everyone feels comfortable exploring their options for personal safety. Our store will not only feature our extensive product line but also serve as a hub for education on non-lethal self-defense and survival techniques. We believe in fostering a community that values preparedness and resilience. Our team is eager to share insights and tips that can help you navigate various situations confidently. At Always Ready, we are more than just a business; we are a community partner dedicated to your safety and well-being.
