Range USA and the USCCA Celebrate Partnership Expansion with Grand Opening of RUSA’s 50th Store — and First in Virginia
Collaboration Brings Top-Tier Firearms Safety, Training, and Education to New Shooters and Enthusiasts Alike
CHESTER, Va. — [Thursday, October 23, 2025] — Delta Defense, the service provider of the U.S. Concealed Carry Association (USCCA), is proud to celebrate its growing partnership with Range USA, the nation’s leading indoor shooting range and firearms retailer, as the two organizations expand their joint training initiatives nationwide. This announcement coincides with the grand opening of Range USA’s 50th location — and its first in Virginia — in Chester. The milestone marks another step forward in the shared commitment of both organizations to provide accessible, high-quality firearms education, safety training, and community engagement across the country.
“We’re looking forward to providing firearm owners and new shooters with a place to train, buy firearms, build confidence, and feel comfortable in a range and gun shop,” said Tom Willingham, founder and president of Range USA. “We hope this store gives anyone who’s on the fence about firearm ownership the opportunity to take their next steps.”
At the core of Range USA’s growth is its training and curriculum partnership with the USCCA, which provides standardized, USCCA-influenced coursework that reflects current laws, safety protocols, and best practices in responsible firearm ownership.
“Range USA continues to be a trusted partner in our shared mission to educate and empower responsible gun owners,” said Rob Chadwick, Principal Training Advisor at the USCCA. “With 50 locations now open, they’re making quality training accessible to more people ready to take the next step in their personal security journey.”
The Chester facility combines modern retail with comprehensive education and training under one roof, featuring state-of-the-art indoor shooting lanes, certified instructors, and a wide selection of firearms and accessories.
“Consistency is the key to scaling a business beyond a few stores,” Willingham said. “With different laws and training requirements across the country, the USCCA helps us stay compliant and focused. They provide the curriculum and tools that allow us to do what we do best: train and support our customers.”
This partnership ensures every Range USA instructor has access to the most current USCCA curriculum, along with the latest safety standards and state-specific regulations, providing a consistent training experience across all locations.
“Thanks to the USCCA’s adaptable training framework, our team can tailor instruction, whether through one-on-one lessons, group classes, or women’s-only programs,” Willingham said.
In addition, Range USA will host special events featuring firearms experts from leading manufacturers, giving customers direct access to product knowledge and demonstrations.
“In today’s world, personal safety and preparedness have never been more important,” Chadwick said. “The USCCA exists to give law-abiding Americans the knowledge, skills, and confidence to protect themselves and their loved ones. Together with Range USA, we’re making responsible self-defense training accessible in every community we serve.”
In 2024 alone, Range USA welcomed 350,000 new shooters to the sport — a testament to its approachable environment and focus on education. Since its founding, over 10 million customers have visited Range USA locations, and more than 300,000 students have completed a class or private lesson.
“Our mission is about safety, confidence, and community,” Willingham said. “Whether you’re brand new to shooting or have years of experience, Range USA and the USCCA are here to help you train responsibly and grow as a shooter.”
