Chinook,
I am a regular writer for Concealed Carry Magazine, the official publication of the USCCA. I write a regular column (Real World Carry Gear) and do run reviews, SHOT Show reviews, and other feature articles from time to time.
I highly support the USCCA and think they do a great job of getting useful info out to the membership. CCM is a great magazine focused entirely on civilian concealed carry, including 2d Amendment issues, training, tactics, equipment, mindset and a lot more.
Tim Schmidt, the founder of the USCCA, is a great guy whose heart is definitely in the right place. As the USCCA grows, I look for it to become a force to contend with.
I definitely recommend membership!
