NRA Terminates Carry Guard Insurance Program
After 2 years of public inquiries and numerous lawsuits, the National Rifle Association has stopped offering its Carry Guard self-defense insurance products.
The DE Carry Guard website has been removed FROM all insurance statements. Contacted by The Trace, ONE representative confirmed that no new policies would be issued by Carry Guard, but said the NRA was considering launching a new insurance product in the future.
In addition to insurance, Carry Guard includes a training program designed to teach firearms owners to "effectively tackle the ever-changing conflict environment".
The NRA has deployed Carry Guard Nut fanfare during its annual convention in 2017. The multi-level insurance program offered up to $ 100,000 in criminal indemnity and one criminal defense policy. million DOLLARS protection of civil liability.
The program was changed and distributed by Lockton, the largest privately owned insurance company in the world. It was subscribed by the insurance giant Chubb.
Carry Guard quickly caught the attention of state regulators. In New York, where insurers are prohibited from providing defense coverage for criminal actions, the financial services department has ruled Carry Guard's offers inappropriate. The state financial regulators also said that the NRA had marketed the program without authorization.
Lockton has agreed to seven million dollars to reassign York for the violations and to end New Yorkers' Carry Guard policies. According to the Financial Services Department, the NRA has issued 680 Carry Guard policies to residents of New York between April and November 2017.
In their own investigations, the state of Washington and California felt that Carry Guard's policies were violations of state law.
As a result of the shooting in parkland, Florida, Chubb announced SA Decision NOT to renew its First State underwriting contract at Carry Guard. Lockton also stated his intention to NOT further act as a BROKER and director.
