I joined initially for the security of the legal insurance this membership brings, and for the training opportunities it offered. This has not changed since I initially joined. I found out about USCCA at a local gun show, a few years prior to joining. I am now retired, and constantly have to consider costs for everything, and so far have been able to keep my membership at the level I joined. I pray this does not change in the future, and I appreciate all your organization does. Just know that many cannot afford the price of admission, and those who can are truly blessed to be able to spend money on protection like this.
