Better be certain you understand 'what isn't covered' if you decide to buy this stuff.

You could be horribly surprised to find all the premiums you paid...don't cover much of your legal costs, while the rest of the fees involved not covered come directly out of YOUR pocket.

So those of you feel comfortably covered ...may actually not be

The same issue applies to home insurance among other things in life. Buyer beware. Everyone has to make their own choices. There are different options with the carry insurance out there. There are also ways to prepare for your legal defense yourself.

I have heard people downplaying the concealed carry legal protection, but I haven't heard of any cases where someone had it, had a self defense incident, and then was left out in the cold by the company. I would like to hear about it if that comes up.

The rules are a bit different in civil cases. Also, just having to respond to the filing of the case means you have to get your own lawyer and you are out a certain amount of money. If it goes forward, it costs more. This is all if you win. If you lose, you are liable for the judgement and attorney fees.

As for the trial, I figure she would have the police officer testifying for her among other evidence so it would take a really bad lawyer, good plaintiff attorney, a bad judge, and/or a bad jury to lose.

This is why people sign up for concealed carry legal protection / insurance.
