While at the Great American Outdoor Show, I sat down with Steve and Kevin from the United States Concealed Carry Association. We certainly had plenty to talk about!
Training Opportunities
The USCCA has quite the program available for firearms instructors to walk through to certify them to teach the USCCA curriculum. The program really focuses on the use of a firearm for self protection, as well as those things a person needs to consider with regards to what would happen before an unfortunate event, as well as after. This includes everything from what happens to the mind when you are in the middle of an event to placing that 911 call (and what to say, or not say for that matter), and more. Of course, they also teach the fundamentals of shooting and carry.  
The Concealed Carry Expo
The USCCA is planning a Concealed Carry Expo occurring in Atlanta, Georgia from April 29th through May 1st. We spend some time talking about what to expect at the expo, but if you can get down there I recommend doing so. They will have training, life fire ranges, and seminars from experts that will help you take your knowledge to the next level. There will be a Concealed Carry Fashion Show at the expo as well, showing off the latest in concealed carry gear.
