Traveling often on I10 between San Antonio and California. Wanted some extra protection when miles away from any potential first responders. Started aUSCCA membership just in case I needed to use my weapon. I am aware that even if I am innocent there will likely be legal action.

I’m retired law enforcement after 30 years in the Los Angeles area. I grew up in Wyoming where my father, a Deputy Sheriff, taught me the respect and understanding of firearms when I was 5 years old. I know that law enforcement can only do so much to protect my family and I. I need to take my family’s protection in my hands. My wife and adult children are extremely proficient in the use and carrying of firearms. USCCA has been a treasure of training information and legal advice. I couldn’t imagine being without them and I’m thankful for their service.

I was never a fan of guns until the violence in this country started to shift over the last decade. Also, as a pharmacist, I am a target at my workplace for violent drug seekers. Since then I have become an every day carrier to protect myself and my family and appreciate all of the benefits you offer to become a responsible gun owner.

When blm started with the "MOSTLY PEACFULL" demonstrations in Seattle, then robbery and arson. Next mass destruction of property, that's when I got my first and only weapon incase of riots. That when I found out that all of my neighbors feel the same way. I appreciate the idea of lawyers just incase. The magazine doesn't help much do to have a semiautomatic rifle instead of a hand gun.

I bought a fire arm because I do not like depending on others (Police) to protect the responsibility of my wife & family. Its pretty simple few seconds in today's world decides life changing events. Its my duty as Husband & Step Father to see my Wife & Family our safe at all times. I live in a state where the police will come but the outcome will have already been determine. I bought USCCA to protect my wife & our assets in the horrible event I need to act to protect my wife & family. As retired firemen I have seen the extended trauma one has to endure with the police questioning & No where to turn for protection & advice for just doing what a man is suppose to do STEP UP & PROTECT! If that day Ever Comes & Prey to the LORD it does NOT! I know I have Co in my corner to see us through the sometimes Unfair Legal System!

I realized as I study the educational tools USCCA provides that owning weapons is not enough. Understanding the aftermath of pressing that trigger could help us avoid going behind bars. Truly “knowledge is power”. I feel more confident as a gun owner.

Ex military why wouldn’t I arm myself. The idea of insurance against the unknown made since to me. I’m always interested in other peoples thoughts about defense.
I have always been around guns since I was 8 years old. BB gun. At 10 I bought a 410 single shot Mossberg. With a large family I fed the family with pheasant, rabbit, squirrel, and other game birds. I also had other shot guns, rifles and handguns through the years. When I was 30 I became a police officer. This was the moment. I was in a small town, and never realized how many criminals live among us. I found at any given time the person next door could have a violant epiode. Then I also saw lifetime criminals moved to small towns to hide. I guess they figured small town law enforcement wouldn't catach them. They would behave and blend in for 6 months to a year. Eventually their core personality would surface. If they were a tough guy violent fights would break out. If they were a thief or burglar that would start. After leaving the police dept I started to carry, and also got a concealed carry permit. Thank You John Cross
When my husband and I got married in 1999, he had a gun. He took me to a range to learn how to shoot it. I hated the kick, and it scared me to have a gun around. I was not raised with guns, and I was not comfortable with them. But in 2020, I started having second thoughts. Let me back up. In 2008 we moved to an area where lots of people have guns and are comfortable with them... and safe. In 2020 the world went crazy, and the government got more controlling than ever. I suddenly realized that I'd gone from being afraid of guns, to not only wanting one, but wanting a CCW as well. I felt it was an important part of being a good citizen. I had not held or shot a gun since 1999, and here I was wanting to own one and have a CCW. I still did not want the kick back of the gun, so I started trying to figure out what I wanted. I heard a couple dads I know talking to each other about what gun would be good for their kids. One mentioned the Walther P22... as he spoke about it, I knew it was the gun for me. It became my first gun (I loved it!!), and it was what I used in my training and for my CCW. I know own two guns, and that gun I didn't like in 1999? It's now the third gun on my CCW!
