Unique insurance can protect gun owners against frivolous charges

Anyone know how this insurance compares to that offered as an option when you purchase your CCFR membership. If memory serves me correctly I could have purchased the membership, legal advice and insurance for cheaper than this. Not trying to be little this insurance (more options the better imo), just curious. I mean if you can get insurance and support a great organization might be worthwhile to look into.
100% agree with the poster who said its sad this exits (a need for it), but 1 look at the poor gent in Ontario who had legitimate reason to fear for his life should be all one needs to know about how dire basic HUMAN RIGHTS are in Canada. This is the exact reason why we all need to do whatever we can to shift the momentum surrounding this farce they call Gun Control.
 
I find it hard to get excited over insurance. While it's nice that such a thing exists, what guarantee do we have that the insurance company(s) isn't going to provide the usual run-around when you try to use it, or flat out refuse.

That's a reasonable question. There are no "guarantees", just contracts.
You must read the fine-print very carefully, paying particular attention to the exclusions. But if you want to truly understand the policy then you may have to spend a few bucks and speak to an insurance lawyer and get some advice. Normally, I would also recommend speaking to a really, really good insurance broker, but I doubt many are well versed in the in-and-outs of a niche-product like this.

Having said the above, generally speaking, it's a very good idea. (NB: I haven't read the policy yet.) My hourly rate for general legal advice (civil) is $500/hour. If I were in Toronto, it would likely be double that rate. Legal services get expensive, fast.
 
Under the buy now tab, For Québec province résidents it tells us to Call or email group Cyr and Lyra. But it seems I can still purchase it through the buy now tab since you have to option to chose the Quebec province. What would happen if I proceed and purchase it that way?

Correct, the headline is a little misleading as this announcement was as a result of the headlines about Sask farmers carrying firearms with them on a daily basis.

The original article had an Robarms XCR in a combine as a picture, Funny thing is I doubt given the time of year that a firearms in a combine is a new thing. I think I will also be purchasing this coverage.

"Bernardo claims there have been cases where charges have been dropped once the crown discovers the defendant has firearm legal defence insurance."

Wow, that's maddening. How corrupt is our legal system when people are punished by the crown who knows they don't have a case.

this is noting new and not an issue unique to only cases related to firearms.

The next addition should be the ability to sue and recoup all court costs against the crown or LEO after having all charges dropped. This may deter many crazy charges.

Having said that I have purchased Capri 3rd party Firearm insurance and feel it is well worth the piece of mind.

The only way frivolous charges will not get filed in the first place is if the person or persons involved in the filing can be held personally liable for the damages
