In a press release issued yesterday, it was revealed that the USCCA has been disinvited to NRA Annual Meeting. The press release comes less than two weeks from the show and cited no reason other than s wild guess as to the NRA‘s motives. USCCA stated in the press release that their best guess is the move was a “strategic business maneuver” because the NRA recognizes the USCCA as a frontrunner in concealed carry related matters.

The USCCA also stated that they feel that the NRA seeing them as more of a competitor instead of as a partner may have also led them to the decision of disinviting them to the Annual Meeting. There was also mention of USCCA being disinvited to the 2018 Great American Outdoor Show due to “concerns regarding its [USCCA] programs”.

The Firearm Blog has reached out to the NRA for more information and comment about why the US Concealed Carry Association has been booted from both events and has not received a comment or a response at this time. We will update this article as we learn more provided the NRA returns our comment request.
