BELLEVUE, Wash. — The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) is pleased to announce that the U.S. Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) has joined SAF as a corporate partner at the Diamond level.

The new partnership highlights the ability for citizens to fully exercise their Second Amendment freedoms across the nation. SAF provides aggressive legal action to ensure our right to keep and bear arms remains steadfast through landmark legal battles protecting the Second Amendment, while USCCA follows a concealed carry holder throughout their life to educate, train and provide legal defense services in the event they're needed.

"The right to defend yourself and those you love is God-given. The Constitution affirms that. SAF fights to protect that right in court while the USCCA helps responsible Americans exercise it wisely," said Mike Lowney, president of Delta Defense. "By bringing these complementary missions together, we can better protect and empower Americans who choose to take responsibility for their own safety and the safety of those they love."

The USCCA provides responsibly armed Americans with world-class education, training and self-defense resources designed to help them protect themselves and those they love. Through comprehensive training, education and member benefits, the USCCA promotes the safe, responsible exercise of the right to self-defense and is trusted by more than 860,000 Members nationwide. In addition to its new Diamond-level corporate partnership with SAF, the USCCA is also a sponsor of the 41st annual Gun Rights Policy Conference.

"This collaboration highlights the ability for a partnership to cover the gamut of an individual's Second Amendment rights," said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. "It begins with SAF's aggressive litigation strategy protecting Second Amendment rights, and follows with USCCA's education, training and legal defense protection. As an added bonus, SAF's Director of Legal Research and Education Kostas Moros will also author a column in each issue of USCCA's member magazine. That column will keep USCCA's members apprised of current legal action SAF is undertaking, along with deep dives into some of the landmark rulings SAF has amassed over more than 50 years, fulfilling our public education mission. We are certainly appreciative of the new partnership and look forward to continuing to educate citizens on the importance of the Second Amendment and why SAF's work is critical to ensure our constitutional rights are defended, secured and restored."
