Re: Pros Cons for CHL Insurance & Recommendations

One provides you with a lawyer from a specified firm in the event of a problem. The other provides with general protection which could (hopefully) be used for legal costs and/or liability. You would need to read the specific agreement to understand what it covers.
LOL, I got that after I went and actually read the page from the insurance page. I guess my only problem with it would be what if my defense costs more than 100k?

My understanding is that this protection only extends to your house car or place of business.
I may be wrong, but I don't see that. CPRC 83.001 simply grants me immunity if I use force that was justified under Chapter 9. Again, I may be wrong, it's happened once or twice, and I hope I never have to find out.

Also, I don't think that there is anything to stop someone from suing you, you probably would still have costs defending the suit which you would hopefully win.
Oh we can most definitely still be sued, however it "should" be dismissed by the judge immediately if we were "no-billed".

This points out helpfully, Winchester, my point about different folks, different insurance choices and needs. I deemed liability coverage as an important element for me; not just paying for a lawyer, so of course "it's cheaper too," as one would expect. This is the kind of distinction all should consider when (if) making a choice of alternatives. I went one way on this question, and you apparently went another way. I do appreciate your pointing out this difference, and I think it is one all should consider based on their own circumstances, needs and financial capacity. I certainly could not say that my choice was better than yours -- just that one makes his choice and pays for it.

Best regards,

I wasn't bashing your choice at all. I'm curious as to what the difference is between "insurance" and the attorney option I pointed out. Is the liability coverage for civil liability protection? If so, why do we need it since the law was changed in 2007? (No civil liability for justified self defense)

By the way, this was presented to us at my CHL class and it was my introduction to the concept, I have not looked into anything else. I am waiting on plastic now, so I'm open to other ideas.

In 2007 I purchase an "insurance" (it's not really described as insurance so I'm not sure I should call it that) plan that guaranteed me free legal representation all the way through a Grand Jury if I was involved in a CHL shooting incident. Apparently if the Grand Jury indicted me, I was on my own after that; fair enough, the premise was that I was an innocent shooter involved in a murky legal process.

I thought it sounded like a good idea since my liability insurance didn't extend to that. I signed up and thought I was covered. Now I have my doubts and I'm debating whether to renew or not. Website here

My question is this. Does anyone here have a similar protection plan? Can you recommend another protection plan provider? Or do I need such protection at all? I would think that some protection would be a good thing if only to get me through a potential legal process without incurring additional legal fees.

Suggestions? Comments?
