* The Total Crimes Stopped and Lives Saved information was derived from, obtained through and based on a USCCA Membership survey conducted by the USCCA in August 2020. The survey was sent to 383,000 USCCA members, and 36,085 USCCA Members responded. The results of the survey were then applied to the total number of active USCCA Members to illustrate the total crimes stopped and total lives saved as reported by USCCA Members. Based on the number of survey responses, the information presented has a 99 percent probability that the sample accurately reflects the attitudes of total active Members with a margin of error plus/minus 1 percent. The USCCA did not independently verify any of the responses. The actual survey questions and results are: With the education, training and peace of mind you’ve received from your USCCA Membership, can you attribute any of the following events to be directly or indirectly connected to your USCCA Membership?

  1. Have you ever successfully avoided a dangerous situation?
    55.35% responded YES.
  2. Have you ever successfully stopped a crime?
    17.65% responded YES.
  3. Have you ever saved a life?
    25.55% responded YES.
