I joined USCCA for the legal coverage, which makes me feel much more secure that I can defend myself and not lose everything. However, what makes me so enthusiastic about USCCA is the total focus on education, preparedness and avoiding dangerous situations. It's why I wholeheartedly recommend USCCA membership to anyone who decides to own a gun. I have learned so much -- not only about handling dangerous situations, but also the more practical side of carrying. No one ever tells you ahead of time that issues like comfort, and what to do when you need to go to the bathroom are going to be a big deal!
