Will you represent/cover me in...
1) my gun is stolen and used in a crime, cops come to question me.
2) a shooting/hunting accident
3) civil court if being sued by a family member of someone shot/killed in a critical self defense incident.


Bottom Line my feeling is these types of companies are quick to take your money and talk up a good game but when crunch times happens...they are going to being looking for a way to say they don't/can't cover that issue! They may help in the short run but you will still need to hire a legal team if you end up in Zimmerman type situation. It like any other type of insurance...you paying for something you don't plan to use and when you need it the insurance company is looking to pay out as little as possible.


Another way I look at this...a one year membership is $100...that wouldn't even cover 15 minutes of a lawyers $400 an hour rate! (And that is what a family law attorney charges not a high flutten defense lawyer) So the thought of a team of legal eagles coming to my rescue for $100 is a bit of stretch dontcha think?
That is my thoughts as well. In their FAQ segment CCW Safe went toward the Privacy Policy and would not disclose their success rate. That told me that either they haven't been to court or it's so bad there not proud of it. Also claimed to provide "coverage" if you were licensed in multiple states. Now I might be wrong on this, but I always thought you could only have one license and that was in the state you resided in.
