Q: How do I purchase a gift subscription for a friend or family member?
A: Please contact our office directly at: 1-877-677-1919. We will be able to complete this for you over the phone. To enter a gift membership online yourself, you need to click the 'membership information' button on the USCCA homepage at www.usconcealedcarry.com. You will be entering a new membership. Click the yellow "become a member" button (almost all the way to the bottom of the page).

The next page will ask if you want to upgrade the membership with some product purchases. Either click the No Thanks button or the Yes Upgrade button.

Then on the next application page, you would fill in the first section with your name, address and phone. IN THE E-MAIL FIELD, PUT THE RECIPIENT'S e-mail address. (it won't accept yours because if you're a member yours may already in there and the system doesn't take duplicates). This is the billing section so if you are paying via credit card, the first section needs your address which matches your credit card.

In the second (ship to) section, put the recipient's information. You will also need to choose a username and password for them, which they can change at a later date.

Choose one of the multi-year options in the Membership Options Section. (it defaults to 1 year)

Then in the Payment Section fill in your information with your credit card and name, mark the "x" box that you agree to the terms, etc. and hit the submit button. This should take care of a gift subscription.
