I haven't had any bad experiences since I've joined, but I recommend anybody that has a permit to carry definitely needs to join the USCCA It's the best thing I've ever done I constantly talk to my kids who have their permit to join I don't think they have yet but I Definitely gonna talk them into it there might be a time that they will need help from you when they're in a situation that turn bad. Thank you for all you do and God bless saw you.
