Anyone a member of USSCA?

[cmore]

I have been receiving several messages from Tim Schmidt of the
USSCA wanting me to sign up for their concealed carry
self defense insurance package.
they claim on their website that they offer ::

""Education, Training And Self-Defense Insurance
For Responsible Gun Owners""

They supposedly help when a member is involved in a shooting
situation. they offer to pay for expert witnesses, cover your normal
living expenses while you are awaiting trial, etc.

Does anyone have any experience with this group?
Do you think it might be worth exploring further?

packages range from $150-$350 per year.

I believe there are cheaper (by almost a factor of 10) insurance providers that do the same thing. Someone is paying for all those continuous giveaways.

 

[S&W Fan]

Yes, I recently signed up. I felt I got better coverage than other companies. The local attorneys that have affiliated with it are quite well respected as well.

I believe that the NRA may have started a similar program recently. I have no details about it, but you may give that a look as well.

NRA does have a similar program probably much cheaper. Look it up.

USSCA...have a number of friends covered by their program. Only negative I've heard is that Schmidt (founder) sends tons of emails. Set up an email rule to put those in junk mail. They say the program overall is good

OK...thank you for your responses. I will investigate further.

They offer three levels of coverage:
$250,000 for $154.95 a year
$500,000 for $254.95 a year
$1,000,000 for $359.95 a year

Souses are covered free.

Read what any gun legal protection consists of and what it doesn't. Some reimburse you and then only if you win your case. Some charge extra for expert witness, extra for bail bonding and getting you released if arrested, don't cover civil suits, have a limit on what they will pay, what they will cover or won't cover.
I checked many companies and I had went with TX Law Shield which also has coverage in other states. I had coverage with them for about 3 years and by a discussion on a gun forum I dropped them. To much coverage was at extra cost.
I now have CCWSAFE and I feel covered front to back for much less cost than most any other company. I pay around $130 a year.
Check out CCWSafe web site for comparison coverage to other companies offers. You want apples to apples not apples to lemons.

Think about what could happen if involved in a questionable shooting. Do you have an lawyer at your beckon call or are you depending on finding a yellow pages to find one? Do you have $25 grand at hand if you have to go to court? Do you have bail money sitting where you can get to it? Do you have a phone number that is available 24/7 for you to call? Will the company cover you in a civil suit? I suggest reading the coverage front and back. If your question isn't covered in the policy then you can often bet it isn't covered. Like they say...."buyer beware".

I have recently joined up with USCCA. Being a disabled retiree and raising my two children, I don't have much spare cash on hand. I went with USCCA because of the fact that they provide immediate bail bond, and provide liability funding, something most other companies don't, including NRA's new Carry Guard.

Last week I went to a US Law Shield seminar, and was impressed by their sales pitch, particularly with the screwy gun laws in New Jersey. I was impressed with the fact that they will provide a lawyer immediately, with no limit on the cost of the legal defense. Since the law firm of the preeminent gun lawyer in New Jersey is the counsel, I jumped into that program.

I feel between USCCA ($27/mo) and US Law Shield ($11/mo) I am as well protected as can be. In all honesty, with this coverage, I am not hesitant to carry when I legally can.

I've been a member of USCCA for about 2 years, no complaints but seriously looking at CCWSafe. Whatever you decide, read the small print and compare.

 

[gman51]

Us Law Shield/Texas Law Shield costs more to get same coverage as CCWSAFE offers standard. And US Law I believe doesn't even cover all the bases that CCW does. CCW also beats the heck out of USCCA.
If I need legal representation I don't want any extra surprises.
