Gun control activists blast NRA Carry Guard as 'murder insurance'

[yortsed snacilbuper]

The NRA began offering Carry Guard insurance, to little fuss or fanfare, earlier this year. The nation’s leading firearms lobby bills the coverage as “America’s most complete self-defense insurance program and training for those who carry a gun.” A “bronze” policy costs $13.95 per month and provides a maximum of $250,000 for civil protection and $50,000 for criminal defense costs. “Gold Plus” level coverage, which pays up to $1.5 million for civil and $250,000 in criminal defense costs, is offered at $49.95 per month. Carry Guard also provides “gold standard concealed carry training” designed to teach gun owners how to “effectively confront today’s evolving conflict environment,” according to its website.

In addition to covering legal expenses, Carry Guard also provides funds for gun replacement, clean-up costs, bail fees and a 24-hour legal hotline that offers shooters advice on avoiding prosecution. Members are also enrolled in the NRA for a year.

1. Many here have called for mandatory insurance for gun ownership

And many here have pointed out it would be an NRA goldmine.
