How Much Does a USCCA Membership cost?
USCCA offers 3 levels of Membership. This article will explain and compare the costs and benefits between the Gold, Platinum and Elite Memberships
Each level has a different membership price and offers different benefits. There is a considerable discount available for a spouse membership and the cost is shown below.
If you want to know more about the USCCA, who they are and what they do, see my article: Concealed Carry Insurance Coverage and Legal Protection.
USCCA Membership Cost
Below is a breakdown of the USCCA Membership cost and discount for each level and what is included with your membership. USCCA Memberships costs are:
- Gold Membership Cost is $29 monthly or $299 annually. (Annual discount of $49)
- Platinum Membership Cost is $39 monthly or $399 annually. (Annual discount of $69)
- Elite Membership Cost is $49 monthly or $499 annually. (Annual discount of $89)
USCCA vs. Firearms Legal Protection (FLP)
FLP (Firearms Legal Protection) is a less expensive alternative to the USCCA Membership. FLP does not provide the level of training that is found in a USCCA membership, rather they provide UNCAPPED legal defense insurance to fight for your freedom after a self defense event using a firearm.
FLP Membership starts at just $9.95 Per Month (Use the Link Below for the discount)
See Firearms Legal Protection Cost & Plans
The rates are considerably less than USCCA as their primary focus is on providing legal services. Check them out at the link below.
USCCA Lifetime Membership
The USCCA does not offer a lifetime membership at this time. The cost of a USCCA Lifetime Membership would be extremely expensive and would just be cost prohibitive to offer such a membership.
Military and Veteran Discount
The USCCA is proud to offer a military and Veteran discount on all memberships. After you activate your membership through the Membership Page, simply send an email or open a chat with a friendly USCCA support specialist and they will apply your 10% Military Discount. Thank you for your service!
USCCA Spouse Membership Cost
Spouse Discount
There is a discount for spouse coverage. If you have a membership, you can add your spouse at a significant discount. The current pricing is below.
**Please note that a spouse would automatically be covered if a firearm (or other legally possessed weapon) is used in self defense while the spouse is “in or on the residence property” of the member. This applies to other relatives of the member and persons under 21 that are in the care of the member.
The USCCA offers a generous spouse discount for each membership level.
Cost of Spouse Membership:
- Elite Level $24 per month ($249 per year)
- Platinum Level $19 per month ($199 per year)
- Gold Level $14 per month ($149 per year)
Firearms Legal Protection
from $9.95/month
FLP is highly regarded and recommended by some of the top names in the self defense firearms industry. Be sure to check them out before you make a decision.
I recently joined at the Platinum Membership level, (membership fee is $39/month) and added my wife to the account for only $19 more per month. I think I got a great deal, and the information that was immediately available to me is priceless! If you have any questions at all about the membership, ask in the comment section and I will answer usually within 24 hours.
Gold vs Platinum vs Elite Memberships
See the entire comparison chart with all the benefits listed for each Membership level here.
All memberships are now protected up to $2,000,000 Self Defense Liability and Claims Expenses and Damages* as well as $250,000 Self Defense Liability for Defense Expenses*.
**Update February 2022: No Limit Defense Expenses

This is a significant increase if you are considering the Platinum or Gold levels. A ton of additional training has been added as well!
The USCCA membership fee includes all the following benefits regardless of the level you select:

Hi Dave; Congratulation on your braveness, to be carrying a Firearm for fifteen years. Do you ever have a reason to discharge your weapon, outside of practising on the firing range? The monthly and yearly fees for all three categories are reasonable. I believe that the price is excellent with all that is covered in each package.
DorcasW
DorcasW, Thank you for visiting my site and leaving a comment. Fortunately, I have not had to draw or use my firearm in 15 years outside of my regular practice sessions. Having a Membership with USCCA certainly gives me peace of mind as well as access to tons of great training material at a reasonable cost.
Dave
Hey nice article you have there. This is exactly what I have been looking for to get legal backings for self defence in time of needs. Questions that seeks for answers to me in the USCCA Platinum Membership, is that the thirty guides of e book and life saving information, how often will one received it , is it on weekly or monthly basis ?.
edahnewton1,
Thanks for reading my USCCA Membership Cost article. The eBooks are all available right away online. Once you become a member, you will immediately be able to log into the USCCA Member site and access all the educational material you are entitled to.
Dave
Great article on USCCA membership cost. The info you have provided has helped to make a good decision about joining the USCCA. I’m also glad you discussed the training program, member deals and expansive concealed carry library. It’s also great that each membership includes the insurance coverage and spouse membership discount! What a great deal!
How long have you been a member?
AlyseS,
Thanks for visiting my post on the USCCA Membership levels and cost. I tried to make it comprehensive so you know all the benefits of their coverage and education programs. I became a member late last year and am enjoying peace of mind as well as all the training, keeps and back issues of the magazine! I highly recommend the USCCA.
Dave
Hi thanks for sharing this lovely and helpful article.i must say you are very brave. and a big congrats to you on your braveness, to be carrying a firearm for fifteen years. I want to ask a question please.do you ever have a cause to discharge your weapon, outside practising on the firing field?
Marthagirl, Thank you for reading my article and leaving a comment. No, I have not needed to use my firearm other than at the firing range! Carrying it has become a habit, so it is just something I do every time I go out of the house. Having the USCCA insurance coverage gives me a peace of mind that I will not be alone should I need to use deadly force to protect myself or my family!
Dave
The information in this article is well detailed and even though I don’t know a lot about USCCA memberships, I managed to understand a little more about them through this article. Thank you for sharing this valuable information about them.
Chezya, thanks for the kind words.
Dave
Awesome post there! Thiis is just so detailed you have provided answers to many questions on my mind concerning the USCCA membership cost, also that I like the fact that spouse can join the same community and organization you trust at a fraction of the price. Thanks for sharing, this is really helpful
Jomata, thanks for stopping by my site! USCCA is the leader in self defense insurance and training. Their prices are reasonable as well!
Dave
This is a very good discussion that you have made here on the USCCA membership levels and also explaining how much we have to pay per month consequently. I have been looking for a good legal backing that I could use just whenever the need arises. I don’t understand the part of the training that you mentioned here in the post though. Can you shed more light on that?
Payton, thanks for stopping by and reading my article on USCCA memberships. The training I mention is offered by USCCA when you purchase a membership at any level. The Elite level provides the most training. The training is offered in video format and covers topics such as Developing a Home Defense Plan, Situational Awareness (how to avoid a problem), Surviving a Car Jacking, How to Choose the Right Firearm, and too many more to list here.
Since I joined, I try to watch a few videos a week and I keep learning more each time.
Dave
Being a Gold level member of USCCA for only $247 annually I have peace of mind that should I need to use my firearm for self defense USCCA will be there to help me with whatever I need.
Andrew,
Congrats on your GOLD USCCA Membership! Its a great way to get educated, keep up with your local gun laws, hone your skills with the weekly training drills, and be legally protected, plus much more as you can see in your personal dashboard! I recommend getting on the USCCA community chat and introduce yourself, there are lots of people there that love to answer questions are share experiences on every topic of gun ownership!
Dave
Being a CCW holder, I know that it very important that I must be educated about the laws concerning this. USCCA provides all the education I need. Highly recommended!
John, that is true! The more informed you are, the safer you will be. USCCA Membership provides top notch education and training, not to mention covering you for Legal protection if needed. Thanks for reading my article and leaving a comment!
Dave
I’m so glad for my membership at USCCA, should I be forced to use deadly force in self defense, they will provide me with the funds for any legal costs.
Tom, I am so glad you are a member of the USCCA! Don’t forget to check out all the guides and training available right from your personal dashboard. I recommend the Proving Ground series of videos. These will help prepare you for some common scenarios and how to handle them successfully. Also, depending on your Membership level, there are many other valuable training tools available to you!
Dave
USCCA membership is something I’m going to have to look into. There’s a lot of opportunities to learn and protect yourself in self-defense, a must in today’s society. This membership should be the top of any homeowner’s priority list!
Jessica, thanks for checking out the USCCA Membership costs article. You are right on, we all need to take on the responsibility of our own protection. A USCCA membership provides everything you need to educate and train yourself to be prepared!
Dave
Hi, I appreciated the information from your article. I also appreciate that there’s a military and veteran discount. While I’m not veteran myself, most of my family members are active or retired veterans. I’ve also never fired a gun. I can put them together and take them a part, but I’ve never actually fired one. I hope to one day receive training, so this was definitely an interesting find to come across. Thank you for the article.
Eirian, Thanks for the comment! USCCA membership is for any one that wants to learn and become skilled in Concealed Carry and home Defense. There are 3 different levels of membership so anyone can afford to join. I am a Platinum Member myself.
Feel free to ask me any questions you may have.
Dave
It’s incredible that I actually had a dream the other night where I was shooting, my mom gave me a gun and she had a licence in my dream lol
And now I found your article. Awesome alignment.
I will refer some friends of mine to your website as they are the US citizens.
Sunny
Sunny,
That is an interesting dream! Thanks for commenting on my post. Yes, USCCA Membership is for US citizens that are responsible gun owners and desire to be well educated in concealed carry and home defense. Tell your mother it is good to have a firearms license!
Dave
Thank you so much for the the article this is really giving full detail of what anybody needs to know concerning USCCA membership and the costs of each level! I really want to enjoy all the benefits of being a member of this organization. I believe it would be best for me to enjoy all rather than wait to take steps gradually. To avoid wasting time I will likely join as an Elite Member. What Membership do you have?
Danie, thanks for the comment and for visiting my article on the USCCA! That sounds like a good plan to join as an Elite Member. Even though the cost is higher, you will be able to access everything the USCCA has to offer right away. If you are serious about concealed carry and home defense and are able to afford it, you will not be disappointed! And remember, there is a 364 day guarantee, so you have plenty of time to decide if a USCCA Membership is something beneficial to you and your family.
I am a Platinum Member as of now, but have been considering the upgrade to Elite soon!
Dave
This looks like a great way for someone to learn about protecting their home and family. Looks like a lot of great training available with a USCCA Membership. The cost seems reasonable for what you get, especially with the 3 different levels available. It’s amazing to me that in the 21st century, people don’t have a lot of information about life-saving information. I hope that as many people as possible will see this offer so that those who need it will know who to turn to.
Thank you for reading my article and for leaving a comment. I am quite satisfied with all the training information information I am able to access with my Platinum membership and I’m looking to upgrade to the Elite membership level once I get through all the training! Even though I have been Carry Concealed for over 15 years I continue to learn new things each time I watch one of the training videos, Or read a back issue of Concealed Carry Magazine.
Dave
Thank you for your post. It is a timely article for me. I just bought a gun and there are a lot of questions on owning a gun. Of course, I bought the gun and intend to self-defense. I agree with you that there’s a chance I will make a choice that land me in jail (or worse).
I definitely need to prevent this from happening. I need to have training and programming into my mind so I can respond quickly, confidently, and legally. It is clear to me that the U.S. Concealed Carry Association is all about helping people make informed decisions and is a sure place for to be in. I am going to join it.
Anthony, thanks for reading my article on the USCCA Cost or Membership! I appreciate the comment and congratulations for deciding to arm yourself and take responsibility for your own safety and the safety of your family! If you have any questions, feel free to come back to this page and ask!
Dave
Hi There Dave,
First off, Great article I clicked the link to go do my own research on USCCA. This is a nice review on its membership costs and membership levels. This seems like a really great organization for people who carry weapons To get some great training and to keep updated on the current laws. The self-defense insurance coverage would certainly help with peace of mind!
Thanks for the comment and the visit. USCCA has everything you need to help successfully carry concealed and protect your home!
Thanks for sharing the membership cost information about the USCCA. I have heard about this once before and after reading the article I know that it is a platform that trains members on the use of firearms for their protection. This post let’s me see that it’s not as costly as I thought if you really think about it. I think it would be very beneficial for anyone that owns a gun for self defense to become a member.
Saint, I appreciate the comment and thank you for reading my USCCA Membership Cost post!
Hi !
I am trying to renew my membership.
Can you email me a renewal form for Gold please for $ 299.00
I very much prefer to mail in a check please.
Thank you! Howard Cox
Howard, You can request your renewal by going to the following link and send an email to Customer Service and they will assist you with your request!

Dave
Thinking about trying to get my adult daughter to sign up,does she get same as spouse discount
John, unfortunately, no. I have confirmed with Customer Support that you would need to be legally married to get the spouse discount. She will need to get her own USCCA Membership. You could refer her and then she would be eligible for a free survival kit and you could get a $50 gift card to use in the USCCA store.
Dave
Great article and valuable content. I think the prices are very reasonable and affordable. I really like the value that you get in the Elite membership. The education and the training that the USCCA provides is just incredible. It is a shame that the membership is not allowed in 3 states due to specific restrictions.
TheMarketingLord,
Thanks for the comment! USCCA offers some of the best concealed carry training you can get. The Elite Membership offers everything the USCCA has to offer.
Dave
Thank you so much for putting together such a well-written article! I love the concept of USCCA and I stumbled across your page by chance. I am glad that I did! When I took my CCP the instructor made a point to tell us that every trigger pull could be equivocated to a minimum of $10k. That’s something to think about when you’re considering whether or not to engage in a situation! Especially in the day that we are living in, I firmly believe that every Concealed Carry Permit Holder NEEDS the protection of this association, and the education that they offer really can save what’s left of your life in the event that you ever have to pull the trigger to defend yourself or someone else. When we really consider what is being offered here, skip the daily Starbucks and protect yourself from the worst! Thanks again for putting this information together so that people can be well informed!
Ian, Amen! Thanks for your comment! Every thing you mentioned is so true. The USCCA exists to train and protect all responsible gun owning Americans. A membership with the USCCA truly completes a well though out defense plan.
Dave
I need to talk to a person. I am a member but there are wrinkles. Member number 2312453
I am not affiliated with USCCA, but you can call their excellent Customer Service at 800-674-9779
