I agree with reading the policy very closely. IMO no responsible agent is going to sign any such statement. Even if they did it is the insurance policy that is the legal document that defines the coverage. IANAL
You are right. However, a responsible agent wouldn't be telling someone it's covered if the policy doesn't explicitly say it is. Or, if an agent is telling someone something that is contrary to what the policy says, they need to be challenged. That is a way to challenge them.
I can tell you, I wouldn't. But I wouldn't be making the stratement that shooting someone is covered.
