Well, if there are any DINOs that actually believe in the RKBA, I am unaware of them. It should not be a Left/Right issue as all reps swear an oath to defend our Constitution. So, if they are attacking it and/or subverting it, they should be at minimum kicked out of office.

Sorry, I think you are misinterpreting things.
The USCCA for Saving Lives is related to the USCCA in the same way that the NRA-ILA is related to the NRA. I think it’s pretty clear.

I am getting more skeptical by the day of USCCA for Saving Lives.
I responded to their second solicitation by asking some basic questions and was ignored.
Their website provides no information regarding what actions they will take to advocate, where the money will be spent, or what their system of governance is.
As far as I can tell, someone needs rent money for their mistress and a spiffy new wardrobe.

Hi @Gary104, I would suggest using one of these two methods to request more information:
- “Contact Us Form” at www.USCCASavesLives.com/About-Us
- Email the USCCA For Saving Lives at [email protected]
And here’s their website with some details as well:

Thanks for the information,
I had sent an email to [email protected], I will send an email to [email protected].
The first action that I took was going to the website and found only Mike Lowney’s (Chairman of the Board) name and the same three general advocacy area’s: Keeping Families Safe, National Reciprocity, Safety & Training. I had hoped to find information on the board, how the organization would be run, how the money would be spent, and how they would ensure financial accountability.
There is no “Contact Us” form that I can find. I had looked.
I will post if I get a response.

I disagree. The NRA-ILA is the direct lobbying arm for the NRA… The USCCA official response to Bill50 was " The USCCA For Saving Lives, the USCCA and Delta Defense are NOT part of the same organization. Delta Defense, LLC is a significant donor to the USCCA For Saving Lives through both monetary and in-kind donations because the mission of the USCCA-For Saving Lives Super Pac closely aligns with and supports the overall mission of the USCCA, which is to help Americans avoid danger, save lives and keep their families safe "
This tells me that they donate to them but the organizational owner is WINRED. That is why I asked the questions I did.

The WinRed donation page has a link to explain that the money is not donated to WinRed, but to whatever organization you are contributing to.
The WinRed PAC is a conduit PAC, meaning it only passes donations along to the intended recipient. Therefore, your donation is directly going to support the candidates or organizations you want to, not to the PAC.

Thank you for that clarification that I missed. But I still question the association that they are presenting.
Have a good day, Bill

When I started carry many years ago. I looked to keep myself out of predicaments to where I would have to draw my sidearm. USCCA has added to my aquired knowlege base. I think with a large group of folks and different ideas is a great opportunity to learn from others

WinRed is a fund raising platform for many Right of center organizations.
Would you rather have a Left of center organization handling your money?

I see 2A as an American issue, and aligning it with either party is a mistake. Without going down the rabbit hole, I cannot abide the current leadership of the Republican Party,

The actual number of days was 15 from sign up. Should have taken under! Although it was a repeat of the original with a time running out message.

The 2A is an American issue however, democrats don’t appear to adhere to the Constitution, American Values, Laws, Christian beliefs, and specifically the 1st and 2nd amendments.Despite many Rinos, I still have faith in Conservatives and our Patriots.
WinRed is a platform used to donate to candidates or causes in support of Conservative values. I will support USCCA for Saving Lives and for petitioning on my behalf.

One of the things we speak clearly about in these forums is that we attract members from all across the political spectrum. Please keep that in mind.

Keep saying it Sir, even if not everyone listens. People tend to make polarization easy. We decry the ‘divide and conquer’ tactics used by many groups, yet we divide OURSELVES. The proverbial They don’t need to expend any effort doing so.
I think I can stand with others who defend the Second, when they defend the Second, even if we were to disagree on Every. Other. Ideal. Shucks, I’d even stand with 2A defenders if they didn’t like chocolate…

I believe we all believe in our inalienable rights, and self-defense, including our RKBA. When posters make comments about DINOs (Democrats in name only), they are typically referring to the politicians that pass the unconstitutional laws that infringe on our inalienable rights, including self-defense, and our RKBA, not the people in general. Yes, hopefully we all agree that our inalienable and natural rights, guaranteed and protected by our federal Constitution, and in many states, also our state Constitution, “shall not be infringed”. As to any other issue, political, social, or otherwise, that is irrelevant to our natural right to self-defense and our RKBA.

Political spectrum!? Is there no place for truth as evidenced by actual action? Please!

I was wondering the same thing.? And using the USCCA Logo…
Who is Mike Lowney? I skimmed through this post, I get the Delta Defense and USCCA thing. But why has my email address used with USCCA got in the hands of U.S Concealed Carry Association for Saving Lives.?
I think that someone at the USCCA should describe exactly what is going on here and define the U.S Concealed Carry Association for Saving Lives…
Thanks! Love the USCCA!..

Sharing your Email can be a little off-putting, I get it.
The rest of it is legal distancing for purposes of taxes and corporate status.

USCCA response posted here for everyone’s convenience. I hope you don’t mind the add-on to your opening post, @Bill50.
The USCCA For Saving Lives, the USCCA and Delta Defense are NOT part of the same organization.
