70gto 142 Posted March 15, 2014 Any of you guys have ccw insurance? Any one better the the next or pretty much all the same? Any recommendations? I assume it's worth it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PK90 3,573 Posted March 15, 2014 I have the retired LEO Insurance through the NRA. They also have Self-Defense Insurance HERE. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redwings9 5 Posted March 15, 2014 One thing to be aware of is that all the policies I checked on you will need to front the money first for your legal defense and then if you are found not guilty of a crime you will be reimbursed, anyone find a policy that provides money for bail,lawyers fees,expert witnesses upfront. Over the years I have had the FOP policy,the NRA etc and all were roughly the same conditions……. Like PK I settled with the NRA LEO policy. Homeowners had no rider for this type coverage. 70gto If you find something good please advise,thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeerSlayer 241 Posted March 15, 2014 I believe if you join ccw usa they include insurance in the membership. I could be mistaken but that's what I was told by a friend. Sent using Tapatalk 2 NOW FREE!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I carry insurance on everything else, in case. We all work too hard and too long to have everything taken away in a scenario that I hope to god would never happen. Defense attorneys and of course the ALWAYS civil action that follows would be devastating even if you are 100% correct in your actions. I will report back any research I find worth talking about, Thank you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Glock guy 1,127 Posted March 15, 2014 Try USCCA. It's a great organization, and they put out a nice magazine. https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redwings9 5 Posted March 15, 2014 70 GTO thanks, always a good idea to be covered just in case. Deer slayer not sure about CCW USA or USCCA I have read both positive and negative info so not sure how it is run, will check again as I understand they do state that they will provide legal defense and bail funds but have never got any information on individuals using same. OGG you have found the USCCA to be worth the funds? thanks for the info. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mipafox 438 Posted March 15, 2014 So far I got nothing, for some reason the other day I started thinking I should look into this. I carry insurance on everything else, in case. We all work too hard and too long to have everything taken away in a scenario that I hope to god would never happen.  Defense attorneys and of course the ALWAYS civil action that follows would be devastating even if you are 100% correct in your actions. I will report back any research I find worth talking about, Thank you.  Many states, such as PA and Florida, either prohibit civil suits if you are acquitted or allow it as a defense to civil suit. In PA it's the latter. They can bring the suit (to harass you) but their lawyer will be demanding cash up front to file it. Because as soon as you raise it as a defense, the case will be dismissed unless they can prove the defense does not apply (almost 0% chance). Something like that. It's a common component to many Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground laws. I don't think it's in the majority of states, but it is in quite a few, I don't know for sure. Of course, that doesn't help you pay for your criminal defense. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redwings9 5 Posted March 15, 2014 Fox you are correct, unfortunately I think this state as well as others like Kalifornia, NY etc would go out of there way to try to prosecute someone for a self defense case. Pretty sad when the real defendant or their family can sue you for criminal acts that they participated in. Lost future income, so they rob and beat and kill people they end up dead or in the hospital and the family sues for damages go figure………….. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
