A National Rifle Association-branded insurance program 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.
Lockton Cos., which administered the insurance, and an affiliate were fined $7 million by New York’s Department of Financial Services and will no longer participate in the NRA’s “Carry Guard” program in the state of New York, the agency said in a statement Wednesday. |

Well one ammo maker won't sale to NY. Now all the rest need to follow suit. By the time were done, they will be tossing rocks at each other.
Oh you New Yorkers, there are other places in this great nation to live without all the high taxes. |

| I'm confused. How can it be illegal to provide insurance for self-defense, if self-defense itself is legal? |

NRA should never have undercut USCCA the way they did anyway - some bean counter saw a way to make a buck and did not cover all the bases. I'm an NRA Benefactor member but my carry insurance will always stay with USCCA. Woulda thought Lockton's lawyers woulda seen the pitfalls though.
But hey, it's NY ! |

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
