Default Self Defense Insurance?

Considering buying this NRA endorsed product. Can I get some feedback from those that have or have had? Anyone had to use it?

Thanks in advance.

It's a loser.

Insurance business plan:

Claims + admin + profit = premiums

Do you feel unlucky? (Well, do you, Punk?! )

Unless there is something about your environment that makes you unusually vulnerable, then, no, it's a bad idea. Remember, civilian defensive shootings are extremely rare.

I'm not familiar with that product. Is it just liability insurance, or one of those plans that pays for and sends you a lawyer specializing in self-defense shootings?

In any case, as Gamecock says, as life's risks go, shootings are rare, and before spending money on this, I'd make sure to be loaded on fire/flooding/tornado/general liability insurance; you're much more likely to need those.

Sorry if this is general, but again, given the rarity of shootings, you're unlikely to get a lot of responses here like "yeah, great product, used it twice already". It's more about theoretical peace of mind.
