Tim Schmidt

Tim Schmidt is the President and Founder of the United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) and the Publisher of Concealed Carry Magazine. The USCCA was started in 2004 and has since grown to over 65,000 active members. The USCCA also publishes a weekly email newsletter that is read by over 250,000 responsibly armed Americans. And finally, Armed American Radio was started in the Spring of 2009 by the USCCA and has since been nationally syndicated and is heard on over 100 radio stations across the United States. Tim leads these charges and heads the direction of the USCCA that came from his personal story of wanting to learn more about Concealed Carry and then sharing it with others. Now the USCCA is even offering benefits for members who have to defend themselves not just in the moment but maybe in the system and in the after math of a lethal force encounter.
