IDPA and USCCA Partnership Announced

The International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA) is proud to announce their recent partnership with the U.S. Concealed Carry Association (USCCA).  

“We are delighted to partner with USCCA”, said Joyce Wilson, Executive Director of IDPA.  “This collaboration will give our 22,000 members the opportunity to access USCCA’s many offerings, including high-quality firearms education, safety training, and self-defense liability insurance coverage for all acts of self-defense throughout the entire United States — now with a LifeLock membership benefit included.

A pilot program, aimed at members in 5 states, will begin in mid-June at IDPA sanctioned matches.  Those states include Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Tennessee.  Additional regions will roll out later this year. 

“IDPA is founded on principles of everyday carry and self-defense”, Wilson said.  “This shared goal of providing our members with the tools to be self-reliant and safe celebrates the synergy between our two organizations. We will soon be rolling out USCCA guides on our website and social media channels to help our members stay informed and prepared.”

“IDPA and USCCA share a commitment to empowering responsibly armed Americans through training, education, and community,” said April Dorris, Account Executive, USCCA. “This partnership brings together two organizations dedicated to helping people build the skills and confidence they need to protect what matters most.”
