Insurance?

Ronvandyn:
My father heard that I was soon to have my CCW and sent the link below to me.  I do not know if this is a legitimate company, but its an interesting idea.  Your thoughts?

Legitimate site.  Also, check your auto policy company (yes, your auto policy) for a personal umbrella.  $1-3M is about the same price, and most will cover you for the same issue in the civilian arena. 
Also, consider joining The Armed Citizens Defense Network.

LawyerJan:
Note that the insurance is only available AZ, CO, LA, NM & TX.  If you find somebody doing business in Nebraska be sure to let us all know.

Ronvandyn:
OK, help me out here Jan.  This particular insurance provider, or any policy of this type?  

Point being, I am not made of money, and until / unless the castle doctrine bill gets passed then this type of service would not only be a money make for the insurance company but could also provide a great deal of peace of mind for those of us who carry.  We have all heard the stories about a criminal suing a home owner for tripping and injuring themselves while committing a crime, I cant imagine how bad it would be if I was forced to shoot someone (even if I am totally in the right) and get sued by the little )*(%$# or his/her family for defending myself.

As previously mentioned.......ARMED CITIZENS DEFENSE NETWORK....$85/YR.  Benefits include immediate $5K to your attorney for preliminary investigation, etc.  They are currently building an overall defense fund (stands at $30K) now to defend a righteous shoot.  They will review and provide court recognized expert witness testimony (Ayoob, Hayes, Farnam et al.)

In regards to a civil suit which seems to be your biggest concern (you mention in your last sentence)....this is where a personal umbrella liability policy comes into play.  This is the same type of policy that kicks in should you be underinsured in a car wreck, some idiots falls off your porch and is paralyzed, etc.  It will provide for you in a civil suit should you be found innocent in a criminal court.  It is written standard in most policies.  An example....I have one for $3M.  Costs me under $400 per year.  Covers me and my dependants.
