Firearm Liability Insurance
Why should you invest in firearm liability insurance? Defensive gun use (DGU) refers to the utilization of a firearm to protect oneself or others. Research suggests there are over one million occurrences of DGU in the U.S. each year. Also, it is estimated that at 70-80 million Americans own at least one firearm.A recent Gallup poll indicates that concern over personal safety is the most common reason for owning a firearm.
But what happens if a law-abiding citizen is actually forced to use a gun to protect his/herself, a loved one, or their personal property? In addition, there will be an investigation – and potentially a criminal trial. Even an eventual acquittal provides no guarantee that the “victim” or his/her family members won’t sue in civil court.

That leaves the gun owner personally liable for legal expenses, bail bond costs, and any judgments awarded through a civil action. That’s why we introduced the Firearm Liability product.
