Concealed carry Insurance and legal fees
 

I feel that the threats are multiplying every day. Madmen jihadists with axes? Cops hesitant to shoot them because of political correctness? My membership in an insurance and legal protection outfit is up for automatic renewal. It was a gift I didn't think I needed and didn't expect to renew. Now I am not so sure. If the cops are reluctant to act in their own self defense where does that leave us. We know that they can't protect us and don't expect them to but is our legal self defense situation so shaky that in shooting the BG buying that legal fee and insurance protection makes sense? What do you think? Thanks

I have it and won't be without it.

Someone near and dear to me deeply regrets not having it.

I can't go into more detail than that, but there it is.

While a sound financial decision, a slippery slope indeed.

No matter the instrument used, be it a gun, knife, or blunt end of a tennis racquet, do we need some type of insurance to perform actions associated with conducting self defense?

I Sir respectfully say nay, we do not. In todays "Its always someone else's fault" society, I am most certainly in the minority.

Where will this lead? I have heard and read that "Self Defense" insurance is a means of Gun Control. The thinking is that any way they can increase the costs associated with owning and carrying guns, is a secondary means of discouraging CCW and gun ownership in general.

Like all Insurance Policies, once they become legally mandatory, the policy costs will escalate exponentially.

Just my humble opinion.

I'd rather keep a good attorney on retainer. One that can do both, criminal and civil.

I don't own anything personally. Let em sue. Far as defense attorneys, I'll pay 'em with ammo.

My dealings with insurance companies......They always try to find a way to attach blame to something outside the policy parameters.

I think that its a slippery slope too. they will say you planned to shoot somebody or why would you need the insurance?
I don't think I would go down that avenue....but that is me

I think I'll just feed the gators

I appreciate the replies, guys. Has anyone actually used the services after a self defense situation? Dennis

not besides at work and no weapons were used by me, just hands. He had a knife....I got cut he got a broken arm out of the deal...and some jail time.

Police brutality...victim was just trying to peel an apple and got a broken arm :p
