I initially joined for the financial insurance that USCCA provides. Over time, I realized how much I was learning from their magazine, and how much they have influenced how I look at handling firearms and possibly dangerous situations. The magazine has great writers and contributors who constantly reinforce that safety and awareness are top priorities for personal safety. Their videos are informative and fun to watch. Can't say anything bad about USCCA. It is a great organization, doing a good thing.
