The USCCA is not a government-run nor government-affiliated entity and does not share your information with the government. However, the U.S. government already has a list of everyone who holds a concealed carry permit or who has purchased a firearm through a Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealer. In the event of the government subpoenaing records, the USCCA will work to protect your information to the best of our ability. We will not readily turn this information over to anyone.

Delta Defense, the official service provider of the USCCA, complies with all state sales tax laws and may apply sales tax where applicable.

If your state’s tax laws change, you may see those new tax charges in the middle of a subscription or membership.
