Question about CCW Safe self defense "insurance"

Neither. "Trust but verify" is getting harder and harder to do.

The only reasons I have confidence in my own policy (for retired federal LEOs) is because the underlying insurer is rated at the top of its class and the policy is endorsed by a variety of federal law enforcement organizations which I have known personally to advocate strongly for their membership. And even with that nothing is foolproof.
 
When I first began CC I went with USCCA. My cost was $30.00per month $360 per year for the highest paying plan. I was very impressed when I first signed on. They have an excellent magazine, but as previously stated they upend and frequently have drawings that feature 'FREE' pistols to people who sign up. Actually , they provide a certain amount of money and the winners, of course, must purchase their own firearm (or keep the money?). I was not familiar with any of the other options for CCW protection until I began checking CCW-Safe (which is NOT insurance). I suggest that anyone interested check them out themselves. For less than half what I paid USCCA , the highest coverage is available. The lawyers and staff at CCW-Safe are all former LEOs or Military who have been involved in self-defense shooting. I posted a similar post several months ago and received comments that I was 'shilling' for the company.

Often times HAVING insurance is an attraction to attorney's to sue you, I was a cop for 30 years and never put a dime in my name, my wife owned everything, my wife inherited land and money and securities and its all in her name. I was sued for millions of dollars in federal and state courts (unsuccessfully) I was in a 5 man detective unit and over the years every one of us was sued (we were indemnified so we had to wait for our suits to be resolved before we could retire) If U have insurance you're more likely to be sued....the claimants lawyers will attempt to get a settlement from your insurance coverage, they do it every day.
 
I had USCCa for 2 years at $360 annually, the high option. If you like their magazine and the fact that they give away Free pistols and rifles be my guest, otherwise checkout https://ccwsafe.com]CCW Safe[/url] and compare $129.00 with USCCA. Equals higher or same coverage lower cost. Then call CW-Safw and speak with them.

As for the naysayers on buying legal protection I wonder if they feel the same about auto insurance or health insurance?

I checked into a few legal defense options and USCCA from what I read was IMO a poor choice. I went with Texas Law Shield which now is in many other states.
I pay around $140 a year and I pay nothing more for legal defense should I have a problem arise concerning my use of a gun. This legal team of lawyers specializes in gun law defense. This is not merely a legal retainer it is full legal representation should I need it.
Read what a plan covers and what it doesn't cover. People don't realize the minimum for legal defense could easily start at $25,000. If a person ends up in jail for arraignment they don't want to be wondering what law firm to call and how to come up with thousands of dollars they often don't have laying around. I make a phone call and an attorney specialized in gun law is by my side. I don't pay a dime more for him representing me.

I went with the sister company, US Law Shield after a lot of research.
 
For the price of an attorney retainer a person could have CCW legal protection paid for.
If you have an atty. on retainer and you need a lawyer then I hope you have minimum of $25,000 at your quick disposal. Your retainer will not pay a dime towards your legal defense costs. That 25 grand could be a drop in the bucket depending how far your case goes in court.

I had Texas Law Shield which is same as US Law Shield. I suggest you check more closely what you don't get with them that CCW includes at no additional cost. Look at the chart above comparing CCW to several other plans.

I know this is an old thread but you may want to go to CCW SAFE and listen to the Steven Maddox story. He was charged with 1st degree Murder in a Self Defense situation. Go to the web site and listen to his story.
 
We went with US Law Shield mainly because of no cap on criminal or civil lawsuits. It's there lawyers. My thoughts are they don't want to lose. Also they will defend with any weapons, asp, knife, etc. Even an accidental discharge which is probably more likely than you defending yourself.

Leaving after the first or second assault, or after calling 911 prior to the third assault by the decedent would have kept Mr. Maddox from having to defend himself in court . . .

That matter is addressed in several podcasts on their site. Worth a listen...or not, if you'd prefer to decide without the benefit of the facts/testimony/evidence.
 
CCW Safe Ins.

I have not read all the comments so forgive me if your question has already been answered.
I spent many hours researching the different insurance options offered by ALL the companies out there. I went with CCW Safe!
To answer your questions. 1. No answer.
2. Yes
3. yes
4. No - But you can add a $1 Million dollar rider onto the base policy of $16/per month that will cover civil judgments for an additional $16 or so per month.

Be SAFE and Shoot Often!
 
I signed up with Firearms Legal Protection in June during my CCW renewal class. It isn’t insurance, but a Legal Services Plan...I pay $20 a month for nationwide coverage. Here’s their FAQ page...

I am very skeptical of these services, more so when I read, "See our Legal Services Contract Membership Agreement for additional specificity.

Those details do not appear anywhere on the website as far as I can tell. Why the subterfuge?
