I signed up for a 2 hr class at Nagel's here in San Antonio that covers, more in depth, the use of force and deadly force. It was only $10. It's offered by [Pre-paid legal service]. I'm a member of the USCCA. Became a Platinum member awhile back. $30.05 a month. Anyone else a member?

I have no interest in paying to hear a sales pitch. I'm sure they will do all they can to scare you so you will buy into their program.

If you pay me $10, I'll come share some scary claim stories with you and then tell you you need to buy insurance from me.

I’m an Elite Member. I believe it in and it’s better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

They also provide a great range of training materials and seminars like this one much or even most of which is free to members.

You will never know it all and we can all benefit from learning as much as we can. If nothing else the "continuing education" keeps you in the right mindset and keeps you thinking of all the possibilities without going paranoid.

I teach and have for a long time the principle of "defensive driving for life", IE applying the same skills in every day life we apply to defensive driving and I'm a firm believer in having as many tools in our toolboxes as possible.

Curious as to what uscca offers over txls? If the objection is only the initial sales pitch, you are past that... so if there isn't much of a difference in coverage/premium/fees- it seems you've nothing to gain. ?

All of the providers of these kind of services have some people that use scare tactics. I think it's more of an individual's income strategy than the company training this type of pitch.

Anyway, just curious if there is more to it. (Oh, I'm not a member of either)

from what i understand with USCCA you get to choose your attorney whereas with TXLS they just give you whoever is available. I'd like to have the best possible choice representing me other than someone who has a lot of losses under his belt. lol

They will also cover you no matter what, no small print that allows them to refuse your case. Many of the other services can and will. That's the main thing that got me to choose them.

That is a very broad and strong statement that I doubt holds true.

Edit: Upon scanning their policy form, it does not hold true. I suggest anyone read the policy terms very carefully, particularly the "exclusions", "defense payments and expenses" and "self defense liability conditions".
