If Only USCCA Had Done It Right: Part 1

Law of Self Defense

The United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) along with its partner Delta Defense LLC purport to pay their members legal expenses if the member is involved in a use-of force event. Indeed, their sophisticated internet advertising campaigns frequently feature CEO Tim Schmidt assuring the public that "We've got your back!"

In recent years, however, USCCA has refused to meet that apparent obligation to its members. When asked about this the organization has either provided no particularly substantive reasons--e.g., "we just feel we're not obligated to do so"--or has made up an outrageously not credible explanation months after the fact--e.g., "actually that member preferred we not help them."

It is for these reasons that I'm personally unable to recommend USCCA in good faith to anybody seeking legal services coverage in a use-of-force context.

That said, there DO EXIST scenarios in which it would arguably be appropriate for ANY use-of-force legal services company to decline to provide coverage--and we'll explore one of those scenarios in the context of a recent New Mexico Supreme Court decision.

If THIS had been USCCA's explanation for its repeated failure to cover its members, they'd have had a point. Too bad for them, however, that this was NOT their explanation.
