NRA Carry Guard A: You must be able to legally possess a firearm. Federal and state laws apply. If charged for illegal possession (such as in a federal building or other gun-free zones) insured will not receive their criminal reimbursement. This will all depend on if prosecution decides to issue these charges. Civil suit protection is still available as long as you maintain it was in self-defense.
Second Call Defense A: Yes
SDF Self Defense Fund A: Each state is different on where guns are not allowed. So, we advise our members to obey all state laws and if they have a question we offer a free review during business hours (not our emergency line); unless, it is an actual emergency and you may be heading to jail. The value for this service is $650 an hour, but free to our members. Normal questions can be answered by phone or e-mail. We can give you advice with our attorneys, but we deal with facts at hand not hypothetical.
USCCA A: The intent of the policy is to provide legal and financial backing in the event a member is involved in an act of self-defense with a legally possessed weapon of opportunity regardless of any violation of a concealed carry or similar law. The USCCA advocates for members to know the gun laws of each specific state, reciprocity with your permit or permits to carry, and to be responsibly armed Americans. The membership benefits will only cover act of self-defense incidents.
US Law Shield A: Members are provided coverage if they use their firearm or other legal weapon in a place where they are legally allowed possessing such a weapon.

If charged for illegal possession (such as in a federal building or other gun-free zones) insured will not receive their criminal reimbursement.

Second Call Defense A: Again, you’re protected in all 50 states and U. S. Territories.
SDF Self Defense Fund A: Ignorance of the law is no excuse. However, “necessity laws” may take precedent. We cannot advocate breaking the law. We can defend our members in self-defense situations.
USCCA A: Yes. The intent of the policy is to provide legal and financial backing in the event a member is involved in an act of self-defense with a legally possessed weapon of opportunity regardless of any violation of a concealed carry or similar law.
US Law Shield A: This cannot be answered in absolutes because it depends on the situation as every case is different. There are certainly some scenarios where coverage would be available, however. Mostly in line with the doctrine of necessity, i.e., you must break one law to prevent a greater harm.
CCW Safe A: Yes. There are two types of legal claim that can occur if one has a weapon in a gun free zone: criminal or administrative (licensing agency takes action against your license). We cover both. If you knowingly have your gun in a gun free zone or location where your permit would not be valid, then there may be coverage issues. However, in our experience in these matters it has proven overwhelmingly inadvertent. Our member did not see the sign, or it was obscured, etc. These are covered since they are not intentional.
ACLD Network A: Only to the extent that the weapon used is allowed in that jurisdiction/location

US Law Shield A: Besides being the first, the largest, and providing the most comprehensive coverage anywhere from the most robust network of Program Attorneys and local counsel in the country, the US Law Shield program is the only one that provides ready access to seasoned gun-law attorneys for Members’ firearms and self-defense needs. While 24/7/365 access to an attorney-answered hotline is critical, the ability to have questions answered before an incident is equally important. Significantly, members pay nothing extra for that type of white-glove service.
In addition to our legal coverage, we offer members an extensive library of reference material including videos and seminars. We also have a network of businesses which offer discounts to USLS members.
CCW Safe A: Number one is experience. We are the only company in the industry to have covered a member who was charged with Murder from arrest to his not guilty verdict at trial (https://ccwsafe.com/blog/in-self-defense-the-maddox-case-how-ichose-ccw-safe ) No one touches our coverage. Our members have all of their criminal and civil legal fees covered regardless of the outcome. They are not forced to pay up front to be reimbursed IF they prevail in court. Don’t be fooled by civil judgement coverage contingent on criminal exoneration offered by our competitors or cap limits imposed on coverage. Some even require bond costs to be deducted from legal fees limits. We offer the best product out there. We don’t give away guns and spend a fortune on advertising. We focus on the power of membership fees on defending those who are forced to defend themselves. A CCW Safe members case will be handled by former police officers with homicide and self-defense investigation experience. Dare to compare. Research each of our competitors. Then make an informed decision. you will find there really is no comparison.
ACLD Network A: Armed Citizens’ Legal Defense Network is not based on an insurance policy. We specifically avoid insurance terms like coverage, limits, exclusions, as they are misleading in the explanation of Network membership benefits. For membership benefit details see https://armedcitizensnetwork.org/learn/membership-benefits.
The Network was the first to establish a post-incident support membership organization. In 2008 when we founded the Network, the only options were traditional insurance (reimbursements), and prepaid legal programs. Since introducing the Network, fully a dozen look-alike programs have sprung up, but limit their service by offering only a portion of their support up front, with insurance reimbursements filling in at some point in the legal process, generally when it is time to pay trial expenses.
The Network approach membership services differently from these look-alike programs in the following areas of concern:
–Access to Network experts, including our Advisory Board members like Massad Ayoob, John Farnam, Emanuel Kapelsohn, Dennis Tueller, James Fleming, Marty Hayes, Tom Givens and more
–Our affiliated attorneys, who are also full Network members, are a tremendous resource for members
–Network Legal Defense Fund: currently over $1,050,000 and growing daily 1/2 of which is made available for a single member’s criminal or civil defense after justifiable defense with ANY legal weapon (NOT limited to shooting incidents), and available for retrials or appeals if needed. This includes an up to $25,000 bail bond assistance benefit.
–The Network provides reliable use of force education from recognized, expert sources.
United Self Defense Law A: We are not insurance. Acting on their passion for liberty and the rights of every individual, Virginia lawyers Ken Cuccinelli, Graven Craig, and Torrey Williams established USDLaw in 2014 with the express purpose of providing affordable self-defense representation in criminal, civil, and administrative actions. With many years of combined trial experience, the lawyers at the United Self Defense Law Firm, PLLC specialize in defending those who use their guns in the lawful exercise of self-defense. When you are forced to fight for your life, we think you should have someone ready to fight for you in court, and that is what we are all about.
NRA Carry Guard A: Each NRA Carry Guard member has his or her own insurance limit. There is not a shared limit among all members.
Spouses are automatically covered, inside and outside the residence, at no additional cost.
Residential family members are covered for acts of self-defense in the home at no additional cost.
Civil defense legal fees are paid by the carrier and do not reduce your overall limits.
All NRA Carry Guard benefits are fully insured. Payments are not determined by a committee.
