Most of you may or may not be aware of the horrific increases in liability insurance costs since 9-11. Many gun clubs are struggling with the cost of same if they want to be covered for such incidents. It is my understanding that most insurance companies recommend at least $1 million in such coverage and that costs many thousands of dollars.
I am puzzled why the NRA doesn't step up to the plate and devise an insurance scheme that will be cheaper and be specifically pointed toward gun clubs. I know that the NRA has such liability insurance available now but it is no cheaper than other commercial insurance. My thinking is that more economical insurance could be created specific to gun club coverage at a cheaper rate, if indeed the use of guns is as safe as the NRA says it is.
Many clubs are quitting because of the extreme cost of providing all the necessary insurance and meeting all the other environmental roadblocks being used these days to discourage gun use. The antis seem to be winning by use of these chipping away tactics that make it so difficult to fund and run gun clubs.
Any thoughts or ideas on the subject?
