There were a few reasons why I chose them over other options:
- They provide money up front for attorney fees*
- They provide money for bail*
- They cover members even if something other than a gun was used (empty hands, knife, stick, etc.)
- IIRC they cover members for both criminal and civil proceedings
- They provide experts to help with defense strategy
- They provide a list of affiliated attorneys, but you don't have to use them if you prefer using your own attorney
- They provide a lot of educational materials regarding legal preparations, use of force, the legal aftermath of using force, etc.
Fortunately, I've never had to use their services.
* I believe they have an initial limit on how much they'll pay as part of your membership, but you can apply for additional funds if needed.
While I haven't done it, I have heard of other people combining ACLDN with other memberships to maximize their benefits.

This is my choice as well. I researched all of the insurance companies in the self defense arena and I liked what I saw from ACLDN the best. Hope this helps!
