Andy,
I am a column editor and contributing editor for CCM, which is the official publication of the U.S.C.C.A.
Last time I checked, the U.S.C.C.A. was over 20,000 strong. It is a "grassroots" kind of organization that is really starting to get going. The membership fees are worth it for the magazine and the excellent members-only website resources. The organization is headed up by Tim Schmidt, a regular guy who started carrying a gun and got an idea that other people should too!
I don't think you would be disappointed. I encourage you and others to join!
