  • Unbiased gun and gear reviews, covering firearms, everyday carry accessories, and non-lethal weapons

Membership also includes access to the digital edition of Concealed Carry Magazine, with interactive features, bonus content and behind-the-scenes extras.

What Concealed Carry Reciprocity Resources Does USCCA Offer?

The USCCA Concealed Carry Reciprocity Map & U.S. Gun Laws page is an essential tool for understanding concealed carry and self-defense laws in every state. This resource is designed to assist you in navigating the complexities of each state’s laws, providing detailed information on where you can and cannot carry your firearm.

Does USCCA Membership Include Self-Defense Liability Insurance?

The USCCA purchases a self-defense liability insurance policy, and USCCA Members are additional insureds under that policy. Coverage and benefits are subject to the policy’s terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions. USCCA Membership differs from concealed carry insurance in that it offers a broader range of benefits beyond self-defense liability coverage. While a concealed carry insurance company may provide a card and phone number for emergencies, the USCCA’s benefits extend far beyond that, prioritizing top-notch self-defense education and training, in addition to connecting members to a network of like-minded individuals and offering friendly, first-rate customer support.

No one desires to find themselves in a situation where the only option is violent self-defense, whether involving a gun or otherwise — but it happens. The USCCA is there to assist and support responsibly armed Americans, like yourself, through the daunting and overwhelming aftermath of a self-defense incident.

The USCCA helps responsible Americans prepare for all aspects of a self-defense situation. In addition to providing education and training, the USCCA has purchased an insurance policy that provides the association and its members with self-defense liability insurance.*

Red Flag Laws

Your USCCA Membership benefits can assist you in any Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) challenges, typically known as “red flag” laws. This will help you keep and continue to exercise your Second Amendment rights!

Court Records

In most states, records associated with a self-defense incident remain in the public domain. Having a USCCA Membership helps you expunge and/or seal those records. The charges (even when you’re found innocent) don’t cloud up your record, so you can put the whole ordeal behind you for good.

Recovery & Recoupment

The policy, purchased by the USCCA from Delta Defense, LLC and provided by Universal Fire & Casualty Insurance Company (UFCIC), has never recovered or recouped any funds from a USCCA Member. There are some states that require a Recovery & Recoupment clause within contracts as insurance can’t legally cover a crime. This is a compulsory clause that will only be enforced if a government agency has forced the Insurer to act. [You can read more about the policy purchased from Delta Defense, LLC here.

How Are Self-Defense Liability Coverage Decisions Made?

USCCA Membership benefits after a self-defense incident are not determined by the insurance company (UFCIC) or the USCCA’s provider, Delta Defense, LLC. UFCIC is contractually required to grant coverage as long as your defense attorney believes in good faith that your self-defense claim is legitimate and the judge allows your attorney to make that argument in court until a final, non-appealable finding of guilt is reached.

Can USCCA Members Choose Their Own Attorneys?

A USCCA Member can select his or her own attorney, subject to policy requirements.

  1. The selected attorney has the necessary professional experience to defend the USCCA Member.
  2. The selected attorney agrees to the insurer’s applicable rates, reporting requirements and billing guidelines.

Who Is Delta Defense, LLC?

Delta Defense, LLC provides services and support to the United States Concealed Carry Association. You can learn more about the policy purchased from Delta Defense, LLC on the USCCA Member Policy page on Delta Defense, LLC’s website.

What Is the Critical Response Team?

The USCCA Law Critical Response Team provides 24/7/365 assistance to members following a self-defense incident. When needed, the team can provide resources for connecting a member with a qualified self-defense attorney, including attorneys in the USCCA Attorney Network. Equally important, they will provide vital support and reassurance during this emotionally charged and stressful period, remaining with you throughout the entire process.

That’s why USCCA now includes complimentary LifeLock identity theft protection for Gold, Platinum and Elite Members, along with qualifying spouse memberships.

LifeLock monitors for suspicious activity tied to your personal information and alerts you to potential threats, including credit fraud, dark web exposure and account takeover attempts. If identity theft occurs, members also receive access to restoration specialists and reimbursement coverage depending on membership level.

Gold and Platinum Members receive LifeLock Standard, which includes:

  • Social Security number and identity alerts
  • Dark web monitoring
  • One-bureau credit monitoring

A More Complete Preparedness Plan

USCCA Membership has always focused on helping responsibly armed Americans prepare for real-world threats. Identity theft may not look like a traditional self-defense issue, but recovering from fraud can take months of work and create lasting financial consequences.

Adding LifeLock identity theft protection gives eligible members another layer of preparedness and peace of mind — both online and offline.

How Is USCCA Membership Different From Concealed Carry Insurance?

USCCA Membership is not simply a standalone concealed carry insurance policy. It is a membership program that combines firearms education and training, self-defense resources, member support and other benefits.

Whenever you reach out to them, whether it’s for an emergency, account-related questions, discussions about gun laws or just to have a friendly conversation, you’ll be greeted by a real, live person. This extends to all communication channels, including email, social media or live chat. The USCCA’s Member Services staff, many of whom are daily concealed carriers, are available to offer guidance and information. They are here for you, anytime.

Community of Like-Minded Individuals

As a USCCA Member, you become part of a community of over 700,000 like-minded Americans who share your belief in the Second Amendment and the responsibility of carrying concealed. The USCCA Community is a space where you can discuss self-defense education and training with other USCCA Members.

Every USCCA Membership is risk-free thanks to its 30-Day, Money-Back, Bulletproof Guarantee. If you decide that the USCCA isn’t the right fit for you, simply reach out to the Member Services team and request a prompt and courteous refund.

The true value of your USCCA Membership lies in the confidence you’ll gain as a more educated, trained and protected gun-owning American.
