I haven't had to worry about carrying at USAA heretofore because I haven't had a CCW except for a few years, and have never been in a USAA facility since I started with them in the late '60's. We just sold the house here and I am retiring to the hill country north of San Antonio, where I will 1) undoubtedly have a carry permit and 2) have occasion to go to the USAA office perhaps.3dfxMM wrote:I am curious what this would have to do with you needing to make other arrangements.

Re: USAA and 30.06
I have been a USAA member for more than 40 years. In that time, I figure it is the most valuable reward for military service, other than the thanks of a grateful nation. I have saved more on car and home insurance, and credit card interest rates, than I MADE the whole time I was in the Navy, active and reserve, nearly 20 years.
I have always had superb service from USAA. All the issues which have arisen have been dealt with promptly, fairly and satisfactorily, several auto claims, a couple of house claims, bogus charges etc on credit cards and the like. It is hard to imagine some of the stories I have read on this thread recounting problems with USAA.
That said, I am dismayed to learn of their policy with regard to CHL. I have lived in California the entire time I have been a USAA member. There is no law that allows putting up a sign to prohibit licensed possession of a weapon, as almost nobody has one. I have been one of the relatively few.
When I retire and move back to Texas soon, I may have to make other arrangements.
One suggestion... when comparing insurance coverage, don't look at premium and deductible only. The provisions of policies are not identical and can vary widely. Moreover, there are policy differences between insurance companies, which although they should be strictly according to the language of their insurance policy, they are not. The sales department is often not in contact with the claims department, if you get my drift. The Old Rancher always taught that "the cheapest oats usually have already been run through the horse," and there is nothing about insurance that requires suspension of this maxim.
