Since joining I have grown in my passion of self-defense. Each newsletter has given me insight that has kept me from making costly mistakes while choosing to be a responsibly armed patriot. I've learned to emulate the gray man in my everyday travels, to be seen but stick out; to be alert head on a swivel yet not overly paranoid; and to treat each situation I'm in with careful, educated response. My confidence as a ccw holder has strengthened too-choosing to go to training sessions every chance I get has brought awareness and given me a tactical advantage above the next guy (realizing training never stops and there's always room to learn more and grow in my craft). Being a Man of Faith USCCA has given me purpose to live out Psalm 144:1 and Ezekiel 33:6 in my own home and towards those I love and protect around me. This is more than just another Pro-2A company, it's a family that watches out for you. I've met many great people affiliated with USCCA and I'm sure there's more out there to still meet. May God bless USCCA and all those who call her home too.
