Well, I just tried to post a farewell message on here, three days ago now, and it’s still pending. Nothing bad said about the USCCA in my message…I really don’t understand why it’s stuck in “approval”.

Whether you are guilty or not, or deemed so by a woke jury even if you were justified, you still have a right to an attorney to defend you and you have a right to choose that attorney unless you can’t afford one, but then you are provided one by the courts. If you have paid a retainer (aka membership fees/insurance), you should get the benefit of that prepayment. That’s what insurance companies do. They take the risk. If you are guilty (legit or not) you still go to jail. If you are in a car accident your auto policy has to cover you even if you were negligent and they have to pay. They can’t ask to recoup their expenses. The pool pays it. Should be the same with this coverage. They take the money from all the masses that never have a claim.

Murder isn’t negligence. In car insurance terms, negligence is that you have a duty, you breach that duty, and that breach of duty is the proximate cause of harm. Example: You have a duty to stay in your lane, you breach that duty by crossing the center, that crossing of the center causes damage and injury to someone else when you hit them in their lane. That’s negligence.
If you intentionally drive a car into a crowd of people in a terror attack, do you believe you should get a full ride of payments from both your self defense liability insurance (because you said the magic words “self defense”) and also payouts from your car insurance?
The New Orleans driver. Pretend he lived, he was a USCCA member, and he had State Farm auto insurance. Do you believe that if he said “it was self defense”, USCCA benefits and State Farm should have paid all the things all the way until final non appealable?

Darwin my good sir,
STOP.
Stop bringing the hate towards USCCA.
When you are STILL ALIVE after a shoot
Count your Blessings
THEN put all that EFFORT to surviving it to
CHALLENGING the Prosecutors.
IF your Lawyer isn’t working GET ANOTHER.
Forget the Expensive retainer you already paid.
START FRESH, You won’t need money if they put you in Prison.
‘FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!’
YOU will get one chance clearing your name/actions
IF convicted it will be insurmountable to try and clear it AFTER.
Read back articles here ‘After a Shoot’. Call USCCA till you get help.
I don’t know why this is happening to you.
A LOT of Folk’s have been cleared, why are they not helping?
WE HERE WON’T DOUBT YOU, WE ARE HERE TO SUPPORT YOU.

Leaving USCCA is probably a smart move, I was involved in a self defense incident and these guys dont help or cover you.
EDIT: Whoopsie, I was running to Wally World and didn’t Proof read this post

This is just a Forum, the majority of the people on here are not paying members of USCCA.
I hope you get everything sorted

It won’t work they way you would like.
As @Karacal mentioned, so this Forum doesn’t do any pressure on USCCA.

I agree. There have been a lot of bad thoughts about USCCA recently.
Even Andrew Branca, who was somehow related to USCCA some time ago had a recent video about it on his Law of Self Defense channel.

Next month but if you are a current member they go up less than for new members and also for current members the increase doesn’t hit until your next annual renewal/anniversary following the February effective date

To some people only. For example, I’m on a February annual cycle as I joined February of 2019. If your dates run later in the year I don’t think you’ll have one yet.

Well, I’ve quietly watched this for a bit now. Your experience was completely different from mine. When I called the USCCA after an event I was involved in, the Emergency Response team was completely professional with me, they actually helped a great deal because I was pretty stressed, and for those who know me, stress is a very bad thing for me. When I talked with the adjuster at Universal Fire, J***** was again very professional and very helpful.
I think there is quite a bit more to the story that you may be leaving out, as every single interaction I have had with the USCCA has been extremely positive. I am not saying that you are being dishonest, but I can’t imagine any reason the USCCA would be as antagonistic as you are saying. Mainly because I have been with them for quite awhile and never had anything but a positive experience.
To save you a bunch of time and effort on these boards maybe call the USCCA and ask for a supervisor. If you are having a negative experience with a USCCA supervisor as you try to handle your allegedly covered issue I expect the problem is YOU. If the problem is YOU, perhaps leave all further communication with the USCCA in the hands of your lawyer. You know the professional you are employing to be your advocate.
My suspicion is that you have been, let’s call it, strident or even unprofessional. In your communication and conduct with the USCCA and/or Universal Fire. I can not see any reason at all that the USCCA or Universal Fire would choose to not cover your incident unless they had a very good and defensible reason. Again, my best advice is to let your lawyer handle it.
You catch more

Actually, take your own advice about assumptions. I know exactly who each of the entities are. I just didn’t feel like typing out there names multiple times.
This is the USCCA/Delta Defense Community forum. If your problem is not with the USCCA/Delta Defense then why are you here?
You are operating under the delusion that you can pressure the USCCA by posting on their forum. Perhaps you could go to Universal Fire and Casualties forum (if they have one) and apply pressure there.
All you have done on this forum (you know the USCCA/Delta Defense forum) is piss and moan about being done wrong by whichever entity it is that you have a grievance with.
From my reading of your posts thus far you have been very antagonistic. My suggestion is, you are to emotionally invested and you are doing your case no favors. So perhaps, you should allow the professional you have allegedly hired to be your advocate, to do just that and let them be your advocate.
You are to emotionally involved from everything I have seen and read so far. That is a bad thing. Every bit of experience I have had in life tells me. That if it’s bad enough for me to lawyer up, it’s bad enough for me, to let the lawyer do their job and to do all of my communicating for me.
Take that how you will.

Omg you’re a veteran, and you’re using your 1st Amendment rights. How dare I say 
, that maybe you should let your attorney handle your communication on issues concerning your alleged incident.
Clue train 
sparky, alot of us here are veterans (including me). I’m sorry my suggestion concerning your attorney has got you in a tizzy. I was trying to be kind and and give you some advice. You don’t like the advice, cool beans. But from where I sit, and from what you have posted I doubt you are telling the entirety of the story.
- You are allegedly, being denied for what you consider should be a covered incident. I’ve been here since this forum was started. Do you know how many people who have come here over the years to complain about their coverage or lack of coverage. Literally dozens. Every single time that I have been aware of it has been the fault of the customer. So that experience is why I doubt you are telling us everything.
- The above is further proof of why you should be allowing your attorney to handle this. The fact that something so important and crucial to your continued freedom is lost. That should tell you (another clue train
incoming sparky) that you should be allowing your attorney to handle this stuff. If your attorney is the one who lost it, get a new attorney. You can find a list of USCCA attorneys here.

You can take it as gospel that being courteous and professional will get you further no matter what your contract says. I was an Insurance Fraud Investigator back when 
roamed the Earth and I’ve seen about everything in Insurable claims. I’ve seen nice, I’ve seen mad and just about everything in between. It doesn’t make it any easier if you are being antagonistic.
Take that as you like.
