USCCA v. NRA Carry Guard - relevant differences > General Discussion

Posted: 7/6/2017 9:00:15 AM EDT

Forget the politics, I'm looking for a clear breakdown in comparing the differences to the two programs. I found an article with the table below, but it looks very slanted.

Can someone point me to a more objective comparison?

I heard an ad for carry guard and it peaked my interest. I'm going to look into this.

Tagscribe.

There's also a Texas outfit that looks reasonable. I'm going to commit to one of these.

It's a good idea for anyone who CCWs. We had a Legal Defense Fund when we were working.

I was previously a USCCA Bronze member, and I'm obviously an NRA Life member, so no agenda here. I would like to honestly know the key differences, preferably from someone with more expertise in how these are used/would be used in a real world situation.

If that chart is 100% accurate then it's a no brainer

I'm a USCCA member. Don't know much about Carry Guard, but by the looks of that chart (if accurate) I'd say it's pretty obvious.

The problem with the chart is it asks questions favorable to USCCA. Every marketing organization does the same thing when building product comparisons. Ex: if our product is available in green and the other is not, you publish a chart with "Available in green?" as a category. Is that an important buying point? Maybe, maybe not.

Hoping someone can say whether the chart differences are important or not, and what other differences are important.

I wish we had a dedicated thread about these in regards to which are good and which are worthless. I've been trying to decide on one for a year. I constantly see stuff for CCWSafe with Vickers and Tyler Grey.

I pay $179 per year for CCW Safe with a $1M bond coverage, and I'd be interested in seeing this in the comparison as well.

NRA getting into business is bad.... as a Civil Rights Organization they should not be doing "For Profit" activities.

Well, the NRA disinvited the USCCA from the annual meeting. If their program is so good, why won't they allow competition for comparison?

Not germane to the conversation. Please keep your crusade to other, relevant threads. This is a benefits vs. benefits discussion.

I went with USCCA. The fine print in the NRA's program as to how the bonding works basically stated you get 20%, then reimbursed up to the bonded amount but only after a not guilty verdict. Limitations on who is covered, where and with what weapons were also negatives for the NRA.

It's been out for months. I haven't seen the NRA bitch about it. Looks like the NRA is putting out a shit product targeting the muh NRAz crowd.

Wow. The costs are pretty high. A personal liability umbrella that gives $1 mil coverage for auto accidents runs about that much per car/person, and the chances are much higher for auto accidents than shooting someone in self defense.
