New User Guide

Welcome to the USCCA Community! You’ll see that this section of the Community has the ability for a variety of different topics regarding carrying, training, equipment, and anything else self-defense related. Your fellow responsibly armed Americans are here to help you and learn from you so they can be best prepared to defend themselves and their loved ones.

  • You DON’T have to belong to the Community to see what people are saying.
  • You DO have to sign up for the USCCA Online Community to start a topic, comment, or ask questions. (You do not have to sign up for a USCCA Membership to participate in the USCCA Online Community.)

Once you sign up for the USCCA Community, you’ll be directed to create your profile and you’ll receive some welcome material in your Community inbox!
