What makes America great?
It’s NOT its military dominance…
Its prosperity and wealth…
Or its leadership in arts and science.
If you want to know what makes America truly great, read this quote from Thomas Paine, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States:
“I prefer peace. But if trouble must come, let it come in my time, so that my children can live in peace.”
Greatness comes from our willingness to sacrifice not just for the good of others. But for the good of others that we haven’t even met yet…
For our sons and daughters born, yes, but also for those yet to be born. For our grandchildren. For our posterity.
Whatever military dominance we enjoy as a country. Whatever prosperity. Whatever leadership in arts and science...
It’s all a side effect of the men and women willing to sacrifice now for a better future for those who come after.
This was the spirit of the American Revolutionaries.
Of the Greatest Generation (who fought on the beaches of Normandy this day in 1944).
And it’s a spirit whose time has come again…
In the aftermath of the riots just a few summers ago, America is going the way of the Wild West.
But there’s nothing romantic about it. It’s lawlessness. And it’s becoming a question not of IF but WHEN it will come literally knocking at your door…
Or when you’re stopped at a red light…
Filling up your gas tank...
In a convenience store…
At a concert or sporting event…
Even while attending church.
It came for me, personally, one night at an ATM.
And then again when I held my newborn son in my arms…
That duty to protect myself and those I love.
In those moments I knew…
If it is to be, it’s up to me.
For this reason, I founded the United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA). For those who realize that they are their family’s first line of defense.
Because the USCCA prepares you for the before, during, and after a self-defense incident.
Get prepared with the Protector Academy®, our online system of rapid-fire training videos, checklists, and manuals.
It creates confidence in beginners and increases confidence in seasoned veterans.
But being prepared in America in 2026 also means that you’re prepared to deal with the legal aftermath of a self-defense situation…
And so members of the USCCA enjoy self-defense liability insurance⁰ as an automatic membership benefit.
At no additional cost!
If you’d like to join more than 860,000 concealed carry Americans prepared for the before, during, and after of a self-defense incident, I’d invite you to check us out.
And you can check us out for a full month and then decide if it’s right for you…
