I learned when I got my Concealed Carry Permit that there was more to being a gun owner than just being a good shot. Being a member of USCCA gives me access to more knowledge about laws, politics, equipment, and other aspects of self-defense to which I wouldn't have ready access. The magazine , website, and videos are all professionally done and very interesting even to my wife. Although she has her CCW also, she is a relative newcomer to the world of firearms and the Second Amendment. She enjoys the articles that are more directed to the female side of self-defense.
