Earlier this month, every member of the US Concealed Carry Association got the following email.  I want to thank Tim for his kind words about my father.  Tim and I met many years ago at a SHOT Show where he interviewed my dad.  He’s a great guy with a passion for his important enterprise. 

Join the USCCA and get a subscription to a great magazine.

Here’s Tim’s email:

 “There wouldn’t BE any USCCA members without this guy…”

August 20th, 2009

Dear USCCA Member,

I came across an interesting resource this week that I think you should know about.

It’s a set of articles written by someone, without whom, there probably wouldn’t BE a USCCA.

His name is Robert Boatman. He’s a legend. And he was a great contributor to Concealed Carry Magazine and the USCCA.

Boatman passed away this year… on April 21.

In some ways, he’s actually responsible for the creation of the USCCA. Without his article, The Constitutional Right and Social Obligation to Carry a Gun, you wouldn’t be reading this email.

Because that’s the article that knocked some sense into me about my obligation to carry a gun- both for personal protection, and for all the other reasons you and I hold dear.

The resource I want to tell you about is Boatman’s blog, which is still up and full of great articles.

Here’s the link:

Stay safe,
