Insurance for firearms
RobertH:
i am wondering about getting some firearm insurance through my insurance company. i got a few quotes and the rates seem pretty reasonable at last check. but in order to get the firearms insured, they need to be appraised. who does appraisals around Lincoln? i am looking for someone who does Class 3 and semi autos as well.
any and all ideas welcome.
Dan W:
Are you an NRA member? You get $2500 coverage with your membership , plus you can get added firearm insurance through the NRA ArmsCare Plus Firearms Insurance, only firearms $2,500 or over must be scheduled but serial numbers are not required.

I am not sure how it compares with a rider on your homeowners policy as far as price is concerned
RobertH:
hmmm... i forgot about NRA's coverage. my homeowner's policy includes i think $1,500 for firearms, but im way over that. ill take all the opinions/options people tell me about and then ill do some research.

RobertH:
For insurance purposes, just about any FFL-holder should be able to provide estimates of value acceptable to an insurance company. [Unless you are into rare, collectable, or curio firearms.]
You could check w/your insurance company to be certain.

http://www.collectinsure.com/ is who I use. Very reasonable rates, as seen here: http://www.collectinsure.com/rates/GunCollectorRateSheet.pdf
So, for example, $20,000 coverage would cost $137 per year($112 plus a policy fee of $25).
No need to send them serial numbers. Just list what you have and the value. Nice and simple.
BTW, they cover knives, ammo, mags, and scopes too. ;)
