This is a statement put out by the founder of USCCA
I’ve recently discovered that some USCCA members are concerned with the recent passing of ‘Red Flag’ or Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) laws. I’ve also seen responses from USCCA / Delta Defense staff to social media posts & inquiries regarding these laws.
Needless to say, ‘Red Flag’ & ERPO laws make me very nervous. I’m sure these laws are designed to protect innocent people. But in my opinion, they allow for the confiscation of firearms without adequate due process and force citizens to prove their innocence rather than forcing the state to prove that a person is guilty. Furthermore, it would be far too easy to abuse these laws. Imagine losing your right to own a gun because someone with an axe to grind simply claims that you’re a danger.
It is for these reasons that I want every USCCA member to know and understand that we will always have your back if you’re ever in an unfounded ‘Red Flag’ or ERPO situation. As responsibly armed Americans, we will always be under attack from the forces of evil who wish to take guns away from ALL law-abiding Americans.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Timothy J. Schmidt Sr.
President & Founder - USCCA
"I realize that you might have some questions about the specifics about how we would take care of you, our USCCA Member, in the event of an unfounded ‘Red Flag’ or ERPO situation. While I am still working out the details, I put up this post because I want you to have the peace of mind knowing that the USCCA has your back. I will be sharing more details as I get them finalized."
Good that he’s made that commitment. As a customer, I’ll be very curious about the details. Would be interesting for them to offer a rider that covers things like the value of the ammo you’ll never get back in the event of something like this.
"...we have your back" is wideopen to interpretation, IMO. Full disclosure: I am not a USCCA member; I have no axe to grind with them. I'm just making an observation.
