The US Concealed Carry Association’s Concealed Carry Expo is slated to hit Pennsylvania Friday as thousands of concealed carry enthusiasts descend upon Pittsburgh. Held at David L. Lawrence Convention Center the Expo will see renowned instructors conducting seminars as well as vendors and manufacturers showcasing their latest and greatest in concealed carry products.
Tim Schmidt, President and Founder of USCCA, sat down with Guns.com prior to the kickoff of the event to delve into what attendees can expect to see and the Pittsburgh politics plaguing the convention.
GDC: What sets the Concealed Carry Expo apart from other conventions?
Schmidt: First, the USCCA Expo is not a gun show. It’s primarily education and training. Literally, the first day alone there’s over 30 training sessions people can sign up for. There are tons of vendors, all sorts of firearms manufacturers, gear companies, holster companies but you don’t buy guns at the Expo. We also have a live training event that we are doing on Friday. There’s one of those remote ranges that is a big semi-trailer. You can shoot and test guns out there.
GDC: It seems to be really focused on providing gun owners
