2020 Concealed Carry Expo. Presented by USCCA
Under Construction
Since 2015, the USCCA has hosted an annual Expo to bring together our USCCA members and key partners to provide education, training, and industry-leading products to a 2A community.
We’ve decided our 2023 Expo will be the last of its kind. We are taking a hiatus in 2024 to test some new ideas. We will launch our new concept in 2025. We will communicate additional updates as they become available.
We hope you make plans to join us in 2025 as we embark on this new journey and provide you with a refreshed experience.

2 | You are specifically prohibited from drawing your firearm to check holster fit, “show” the gun to anyone or otherwise conduct ANY administrative handling of your defensive firearm. This includes but is not limited to loading, unloading, clearing, cleaning or any other activity that does not involve reaction to an imminent deadly threat. |
