# USCCA (United States Concealed Carry Association) > The U.S. Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) serves gun owners who want to responsibly protect their loved ones through education, firearms training, and membership benefits. USCCA is not a government agency, and USCCA membership is not a concealed-carry permit or license. Delta Defense, LLC provides sales, marketing, operations, and administrative support services to USCCA. USCCA has purchased an insurance policy that provides the association and its members with self-defense liability insurance. Coverage and benefits are subject to the terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions of the policy and the USCCA Membership Agreement. Refer to the Membership page and controlling documents for current details and availability. Gun-law and permit information is educational, changes frequently, and is not legal advice. Verify current requirements with the applicable government authority or a qualified attorney. > Last reviewed: 2026-08-12 ## Membership & Organization - [USCCA Membership](https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/membership/): Current membership levels, education and training benefits, self-defense liability insurance information, eligibility, and links to controlling terms. - [About USCCA](https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/about/): USCCA's purpose, history, services, leadership, and relationship with Delta Defense, LLC. - [USCCA Frequently Asked Questions](https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/about/faq/): Answers about USCCA, membership, training, benefits, and account support. - [Contact USCCA](https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/about/contact/): Current phone, chat, email, and member-support options. ## Education & Firearms Training - [USCCA Academy](https://academy.usconcealedcarry.com/): Online education and training available through the USCCA Academy. - [Firearms Training](https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/firearms-training/): Training programs, class categories, instructor resources, and ways to find training. - [Concealed Carry Classes](https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/firearms-training/classes/concealed-carry/): Information about finding concealed-carry and firearm-safety classes. - [Self-Defense & Home-Defense Classes](https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/firearms-training/classes/self-defense-home-defense/): Classes focused on personal safety, self-defense, and home-defense preparation. - [Shooting Classes](https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/firearms-training/classes/shooting-class/): Courses covering firearm handling and shooting fundamentals. - [Firearms & Self-Defense Terminology](https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/resources/terminology/): Definitions for firearm, carry, safety, and self-defense terms used throughout USCCA resources. ## Gun Laws, Permits & Reciprocity - [Concealed Carry Reciprocity Map & State Gun Laws](https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/resources/ccw_reciprocity_map/): Interactive reciprocity information and links to dedicated gun-law guides for all 50 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and New York City. - [CCW Reciprocity Map llms.txt](https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/resources/ccw_reciprocity_map/llms.txt): Full index of state-specific reciprocity and gun law page URLs. - [How to Get a Concealed Carry Permit](https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/resources/how-to-get-a-concealed-carry-permit/): General overview of the concealed-carry permit application process and state-specific resources. - [Federal Gun Laws & Carry Regulations](https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/resources/federal-ccw-law/): Educational overview of federal laws relevant to firearms and concealed carry. - [Federally Prohibited Carry Locations](https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/resources/federal-ccw-law/federally-banned-locations-for-carrying-firearms/): Educational guide to federal location-based firearm restrictions. - [Traveling With Firearms](https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/resources/traveling-with-firearms/): Educational resources for lawful firearm transport and interstate travel. - [Permitless and Constitutional Carry](https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/resources/terminology/types-of-concealed-carry-licensurepermitting-policies/unrestricted/): Explanation of permitless or unrestricted carry terminology and state-law considerations. - [Open Carry](https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/resources/terminology/carry-types/open-carry/): Explanation of open-carry terminology and legal considerations. ## News & Public Information - [USCCA Blog](https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/blog/): Articles about responsible gun ownership, safety, training, gear, and legal developments. - [USCCA Press Room](https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/about/press-room/): Official news releases and organizational announcements. ## Optional - [USCCA Story](https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/about/story/): Founding history and background from USCCA leadership. - [USCCA Member Reviews](https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/stories/reviews/): Published member reviews and experiences. - [USCCA Press Kit](https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/about/press-kit/): Media resources, approved assets, organizational background, and leadership information. - [Concealed Carry Magazine](https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/resources/concealed-carry-magazine/): Information about USCCA's print and digital publication. - [USCCA Community](https://community.usconcealedcarry.com/): Community discussion forum;
