THE Gun Thread

[onlinebiker]

And - I can' t believe I missed this at first -

NO Insurance company will provide liability coverage for INTENTIONAL HARM. They also don' t cover suicides.

So - the only coverage would be for negligence - which are a small minority of gun deaths - the vast majority being suicide 


So no payday for all the murder victims..

It's not primarily about intentional harm. If you look at the various policies in the link I quoted, the insurance is intended to benefit  the policy holder, and (in the case of the NRA policies), is geared chiefly towards self-defense shootings. If you get sued for shooting an intruder, a gun liability policy would - among other things - relieve you of the nightmare of having yourself represented by a public defender.

You'd think gun owners would be all over this.

Have you ever actually dealt with an insurance company? It sure doesn' t sound like it.

First - if you shoot up a school - no coverage due intentional harm. Suicide - ditto.

If you shoot simebody in self defense - you think your insurance company is going to come running to your rescue? Are you that stupid? They are NOT going to provide you a lawyer - as it is in their best interest for you to be found unjustified in your shooting - so they can invoke intentional harm and refute liability.

THAT is why the NRA unsurance is cheap - they plan on NEVER paying out.

Jesus... You BELIEVE that " you're in good hands" bullshit?
