Gun control activists blast NRA Carry Guard as 'murder insurance'
The NRA began offering Carry Guard insurance, to little fuss or fanfare, earlier this year. The nations leading firearms lobby bills the coverage as Americas most complete self-defense insurance program and training for those who carry a gun. A bronze policy costs $13.95 per month and provides a maximum of $250,000 for civil protection and $50,000 for criminal defense costs. Gold Plus level coverage, which pays up to $1.5 million for civil and $250,000 in criminal defense costs, is offered at $49.95 per month. Carry Guard also provides gold standard concealed carry training designed to teach gun owners how to effectively confront todays evolving conflict environment, according to its website.
In addition to covering legal expenses, Carry Guard also provides funds for gun replacement, clean-up costs, bail fees and a 24-hour legal hotline that offers shooters advice on avoiding prosecution. Members are also enrolled in the NRA for a year.
