Choosing A Concealed Carry Firearm Liability Insurance Policy

By Brenda Foster


Guns are an invention that radically changed the world. In fact, they can be viewed as the invention that marked the beginning of the modern era for humanity. Before firearms were discovered battles were still basically won or lost based on the physical strength and size of the warrior. After the invention of firearms, everything changed. Especially firearm liability laws.

Simple gun insurance shield the carrier from liability accrued from damages and accidents caused from use of the gun. However, if the guns are utilized as part of an enterprise just like in sporting gun commerce or in an exhibition, there is a different policy that requires to be purchased. Besides, these are two distinct policies that are referred to as gun business insurances.

Insurance companies are now offering concealed carry and self-defense insurance policies just for such occasions. Since this has become so popular, there are several coverage options and several providers to choose from. When choosing a policy, do your homework.

Property rights are often brought up when it comes to the firearm ownership debate, and I think it is a valuable point to make. That is in addition to hard data such as crime statistics, gun registration numbers and social signals related to firearms keywords as tracked by social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

Collector policies are gun business insurance that protect the owner against damages when the weapons are not fired or used. This includes the use of weapons only for exhibits and needs also to protect the goods while they are in route to a show or exhibition against: fire, flood, theft, damage, explosion or other accidental damages that may render the gun useless for the commercial purpose covered.

This is not the time to become "chatty." Here is a rule of thumb: Consider using the following words: He attacked me, I was in fear for my life, I'll sign a complaint, Here is the evidence (point out evidence to authorities), I need to talk to my lawyer, I do not consent to any search.

A few other things to consider is how much coverage you feel you might need based on where you live. Going to a court in one geographical location versus going to another one can be two different scenarios and cost distinct amounts. Try to find out if the plan offers a lawyer to you or if it permits you to choose who you feel will represent you best. Will the plan cover fees for an expert witness and are the fees provided up front or reimbursed?

If criminal charges are not filed, all is well, right? Not so fast. You may have to defend yourself in a wrongful death civil lawsuit by the family, relatives, or the attackers themselves. Just because it was a lawful shoot, does not make you immune to civil lawsuits. People can sue you for a lot of reasons. It is usually for money or to get back at someone for any number of reasons. The rules of evidence and the jury rules are different in civil court.
