USCCA thoughts

[BassNut]

Good/Bad/don't know? was listening to their webinar. Wondering if anyone else has and if you had any thoughts on it....

I looked into them a bit. Lots of high-pressure sales and solicitations. "We have all these secrets YOU NEED to know, and we'll sell them to you for the low low price of..."

yep. I joined but let my subscription run out. They constantly tried to sell you stuff. their forums are pretty good, but not worth the money to join. This forum is much better. You really don't get much for the money except a magazine.

Good to hear the tips before I dropped some big cash to join USCCA...it seemed to me from their website that they were all about trying to SELL, SELL, SELL you something so I'm glad I got the tip before I took the plunge!

Got a membership as a gift...did not renew.

Like the magazine, but didn't renew my membership. It's just a big marketing scheme beyond the magazine. Now they force you to buy criminal defense insurance with the membership. I already have that through my homeowners policy. A million worth. Pass on the USCCA.....

I have been a member of USCCA for several years, and I'm paid up until 2013. My husband became a member last year. We both love the magazine, and especially the monthly drill. I have gotten tons of free (members only) and valuable downloads on a variety of all shooting subjects. Since I plan on getting my NRA instructors certificate this year, much of that info is going to come in handy for my classes. Also, they offered at a big discount the Dave Grossman seminar that we went to last year. All 8 hours of it on DVD. As for the advertising through the emails, you can opt out of that. My membership was purchased a while back before they went with the criminal defense insurance. I don't know if I will be renewing after that, but for now, we have been very satisfied. The forums have been very helpful to us as we have been in the process of building a security team for our church. In fact, I have made a very good friend from the forums who has helped us a lot.

I joined them a few years back, but as was said they try and sell you stuff, which is why I may let it lapse. They have a good magazine, good forum, and the CCW insurance is good peace of mind for some but I do now want it, and if it becomes mandatory I will quit....

Already mentioned above, but I too signed on prior to the mandatory insurance as part of your subscription. I really enjoy the magazine and found the forum useful but when my subscription expires I will not be renewing.

I respect that the owner(s) are running a business, but their overbearing approach really rubbed me the wrong way.

Agreed not 100% sure what the price is but over a hundred bucks a year for a magazine??? Yes the insurance but just like Obama care that has been shoved down the throats of American citizens I will not pay for something I do not want!!!
