Bloomberg news reports, “NRA-Branded Insurance Program Is Unlawful, New York Regulators Say<\/a>“:<\/p>\n

“A National Rifle Association-branded insurance program<\/a> unlawfully provided liability coverage to gun owners in the event they were charged with a crime involving their firearms, according to New York state regulators … The group advertises Carry Guard as the nation\u2019s \u201cmost complete self-defense membership program\u201d on its website, referring to Lockton\u2019s plan as \u201ccomprehensive personal firearms liability insurance.\u201d Regulators said the insurance unlawfully offered protection for certain acts of intentional wrongdoing and improperly provided coverage for acts of self defense. Gun control advocates have criticized the program, referring to it as \u201cmurder insurance.\u201d …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I knew this was coming because for years gun control advocates have pushed bills requiring gun owners have liability insurance (currently A-349<\/a><\/strong>, A-2260<\/a><\/strong> and S-2857A<\/strong><\/a>) and the response has always been it isn’t legal.<\/p>\n

While the antis are crowing about this decision now, the NYS Department of Financial Services<\/a> just nuked one of their key agenda items.<\/p>\n
