Membership Fee

[Arthur96]

Any idea why my annual premium went from $300 to $367/year. Why the 22% increase in annual membership? Anyone else experience an increase recently?

[KarlBlessing]

I only know the prices went up because the informational material I got at my CPL class had the old prices. But basically all the memberships went up.

PS: You could ask support.

Hello Arthur! We did have the first price increase since 2020 for all membership levels this past year. Any base price increases for membership are first communicated to members before renewal via email and physical mail.

@Karacal .. where are you?

Have you abandoned us? Is it because of 22% increase?

@Sam.H

first price increase since 2020

I pay monthly, went from $39 to $43 (10%) sometime this year.

I was told by Tim Schmidt that the increase was for training videos.
800,000+ members, $4 increase per member per month. $3.5 million a year for Kevin to show a new gun(which we probably paid for) to NOT hit a target?
For a ex-military guy to show us the best way to modify a carry pistol?
BULLSH!T!

[Sam.H]

For existing members, the price increase was significantly smaller vs the price of membership for anyone starting a new membership.

[Karacal]

The ‘existing’ members should have not had an increase, period!

I switched a few years back, and Barry54 asked who I was with now as he found the cost getting excessive. My NRA bag is toast, my uscca pistol bag pretty beat as well, yet somehow I survive.

[Jerzees]

For last 6 years I have never had a single increase

And I really appreciate it.

[Ronald150]

I wish our cost of living would increase 22%. Wouldn’t that be nice? Cheap @$$ COLA.

[Ronald150]

Our 2026 cost of living increase 2.3% was significantly smaller than the membership significantly small increase 22%. Should we buy high price groceries to eat or pay the mem…aahh forget it…either way we’re f…..

[Jerzees]

@Ronald150 , just buy better car and your cost of living will be way more than small USCCA’s fee increase.
Problem solved.

Happy 2026 !!!

[Ronald150]

Happy New Year!!!

I took a sharpie to the USCCA logo, I’m not advertising for free, you’ll have to pay me like Colion Noir.

There are Cost of Living ‘Adjustments’ and there is greed.

When a large percentage of you’re Membership is struggling financially because of the Country’s MASSIVE FRAUD/THEFT, MISMANAGEMENT and pathetic OVER REACH you would think an INCREASE in SERVICES (that bring nothing added to the members tables except additional ‘Training’ material most of us don’t care about because their ‘Experts’ post videos with their fingers on the triggers or now pay High salaries to INFLUENCERS like Colon Noir) because he is the Internets ‘Soup of the day’ it would behoove the USCCA to take a look @ their Spending habits and direction they wish to take their organization.

FORGET THE PAPER MAGAZINE! It can be read ONLINE! That right there would save you a ton of money (and TREES!). When half the Fast Food companies try to shove 13.00 shrinkflation ‘combo meals at you that are Luke warm @ best and unappetizing and unhealthy close 400+ stores because they are ‘underperforming’ YOU HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM in those organizations…
Th USCCA has a BRAND problem—-trying to SELL US cheap foreign knock off Tee shirts, Bags, ‘Survival kis that we don’t want or need that ‘PROMOTE’ the Brand (and NOT us) when the best thing to do these days in certain cities is to NOT ADVERTIZE we Carry! (It is CONCEALED CARRY after all)—-YOU HAVE A PROBLEM…

The USCCA needs to re-evaluate their PRIORTIES!

Brother, you hit it exactly here. First, allowing the forum to get so bad that people like Enzo and William feel the need to leave is sad enough, but wiping everything that Enzo ever posted is a loss this forum will not recover from. The knowledge, insight and experience he brought can not be replaced. I resent the place every time I log in and see a residual reply to a post he made in an older thread, but can’t see what he said.

Crap by our resident trolls seems to stay around forever (none of which is on-topic in a self defense forum, by the way), but years of real, good shooting and self defense writing by a USCCA instructor is gone forever. Great job, mods.

@Don102

and direction they wish to take their organization.

This is the direction of every organization!

I do believe “WE” are the product.

[Don102]

…TRUTH! Blood Brother, and not to belabor the point (just fine tuning for regulars and Newbies’. )

Enzo and William didn’t LEAVE, they were FORCED OUT, CANCELLED, their concerns DISMISSED.

Not starting off on the right foot for the new year and I apologize to the group but all need to know the truth.

Enzo was a USCCA Certified Shooting Instructor. He paid the exorbitant FEE’S for that ‘Title’. Then to turn around and wipe it clean? That hasn’t sat well for me since I heard.

and William was FLAGGED out of existence because of what he posted? 1st Amendment anybody?
and YES! Scott, WE ARE THE PRODUCT! Without US there will be no USCCA!

Hasn’t anyone learned any lessons in basic Economics here? NRA ANYBODY?
