With the most comprehensive self-defense education, training and legal protection available to responsibly armed Americans, a USCCA Membership protects you in ways that concealed carry insurance won't.

Some concealed carry insurance companies will simply provide you with a card and phone number. The United States Concealed Carry Association, however, is fiercely committed to your freedom and independence, and works tirelessly to protect both through USCCA membership.

A USCCA Membership offers responsibly armed Americans with benefits you simply can’t find anywhere else; including Concealed Carry Magazine, industry-leading education, first-class training, trusted legal protection, a Community Giving Program and exclusive member discounts and perks.

As a USCCA Member, you’ll secure access to the finest community of like-minded Americans and award-winning service. Join thousands of fellow patriots at the annual USCCA Concealed Carry Expo, get answers to your most burning questions at the monthly “Ask An Attorney” webinar, and keep your skills sharp with over 30 training videos waiting for you in your dashboard.

You won't receive that kind of value from CCW insurance.

Talk to fellow USCCA Members, they will tell you there is no better way to protect yourself.

You are instructed to first call 911, then call the USCCA. Immediately upon notifying the USCCA of your self-defense incident, you'll be connected with a USCCA Critical Response Team Manager.

A self-defense encounter is fast, dynamic, and stressful. You will most likely experience loss of dexterity, tunnel vision, memory loss, and auditory exclusion. We highly recommend you keep your membership card on your person at all times so that you can easily follow the instructions on the back. This will help the 911 operator understand that you were the victim of a crime, as well as prevent you from saying anything that could potentially be incriminating. Request both police and an ambulance.

It's important that you prepare for Police arrival. From their perspective, they will not know who the attacker is or who the defender was. The Police want to quickly stabilize the scene. They may order you to the ground, handcuff you, search you, and then place you in the backseat of a Police car. If the attack has stopped, and it is safe to do so, it is best to re-holster your firearm prior to Police arrival. If you feel it is necessary to keep your firearm out for protection, quickly follow any and all Police orders and do not make any sudden moves!

Your Critical Response Team Manager, who will be available to you any time of day, will be your direct point of contact for the minutes, days, weeks, and months following your incident. Everyone you will encounter is highly trained to handle these specific types of stressful situations.

We'll be with you every step of the way to provide:

• Assistance with the coordination of your preferred attorney
• Up-front attorney retainer coverage
• Up-front bail bond funding if needed–to get you back home where you belong
• Advice for what you can expect to happen next (in your home, in the courtroom, and from your family or community…)
• Weekly follow-up calls
