Hello, Patrick!
Many, many people have been coming to me lately telling me that between the presidential election and the general atmosphere in the country, they have been feeling a tug towards concealed carry.
I've even had guys who have carried for thirty years email me saying that they are getting more serious about how they carry concealed. They tell me they are practicing more, telling more people about carrying concealed, and even signing up for professional classes.
Gun sales are up, and concealed-carry permit applications are at an all time high.
It's easy to see that these people feel a sense of duty toward gun ownership and concealed carry.
I'll never forget the time I first felt this 'tug'. It was shortly after becoming a father, while reading an article titled "The Constitutional Right and Social Obligation to Carry a Gun."
I was given the article by a friend, and it really struck a chord with me. It wasn't that I was new to guns- it was just that I had never really put much thought into carrying one around with me.
With my new child, I naturally felt the need to keep him safe, but I had never really felt a duty to carry a gun. But I read on...
"A citizen who shirks his duty to contribute to the security of his community is little better than the criminal who threatens it."
Wow... Needless to say, by the time I finished the article, I began to share the sense of duty that the author, Robert H. Boatman, was taking about.
I realized that not only was it my job to keep my family safe, but it was my duty to help keep my community safe.
I'm not talking about sticking on one of those corny "CCW Badges" and pretending to be a cop- I just mean spreading the word about concealed carry, and making criminals think twice before they pull a gun on someone.
If they hear that one out of every ten people walking around has a gun on them, they have to ask themselves: If I mug someone, I might get $20 or $30. So... Is $20 or $30 worth dying for?
More and more frequently, that answer is "NO!". And statistics back that up: Concealed Carry laws lower crime.
So let me ask you- do YOU feel a duty to carry your weapon concealed?
Do you believe that your community is better off having you armed?
I do. I believe your township, village, or city is better off having you as a member of the community.
And you know what? Well over 25,000 members of the United States Concealed Carry Association believe so too.
See, we have earned the title of "The Ultimate Resouce for the Armed Citizen" by providing the most relevant Concealed Carry info there is- but we have something much more important than that going for us:
We are more than just a club, or a bunch of brains.
We are a tightly knit community, woven with the most wholesome people in the country.
Sure- we're host to hundreds upon hundreds of articles, stories, and profiles all meant to help you become prepared for whatever you may encounter.
Our writers come from all walks of life- some are expert trainers, and some are people just like you and I.
-We wouldn't be "The Ultimate Resource of the Armed Citizen" if we didn't have these things.
But the USCCA community is even more special than that, and we want YOU to join us.
With things going the way they are going... we really need to stick together with like-minded people.
Until now, this hasn't been possible- but Al Gore gave us the internet (hahahaha, sorry), and the USCCA is using the internet to put you just a couple clicks away from almost 30,000 Armed Americans who share your concerns and beliefs.
Friend, here is your next step: A membership to the United States Concealed Carry Association.
Let me just say this one last thing, my friend:
Give a membership to the USCCA a shot. All you have to lose is a few minutes of your time. All you have to gain is a whole new perspective on carrying concealed, and mountains of life- saving information.

P.P.S. - Ever since day one (almost six years ago), I have been so confident that a membership to the USCCA is all someone needs to become completely prepared, that I have made and stood by this guarantee:
If, at ANY point during your membership (anywhere from the first day to the last day) you can honestly tell me that your membership hasn't helped you or been worth your money, I will give you back every cent that you paid me.
It's that simple. Some people tell me that I'm crazy to offer a guarantee like that. You know what I say? "I'm not crazy- I believe in the USCCA."
Well, I say that and point out the fact that in almost five years, barely a hand full of people have ever taken me up on this offer. That's right- out of over 30,000 people who have joined the USCCA, 99.96% of them thought it was well worth their money.
