Small company, made up of all former LEO's and some now attorneys. Guy I talked to today was former high ranking BATF agent (from his bio). Company CEO is a former cop and former DOJ agent.

Just getting a good vibe from everything I'm seeing and hearing about this outfit. Their terms & conditions declaration on their web site is single page, straight forward clear English (no legal-ese), as opposed to some other outfits that have 10 or more pages of "party of the first part" and "wheretofore's" and the like.

The company has been in operation as a business for 4 years. No, they have not had any major cases (a few "minor" ones), but their network attorneys have had cases of their own, so they do have experience. This company emphasizes stopping any potential legal action against you before it starts. But if they can't do that, they also claim to have the resources to defend you in court if it comes to that. It's not insurance, but it's like the philosophy of insurance in that you hope you don't need it, but if you do, you're glad to have it.

I still also plan on finding a local attorney that I can deal with on a personal level, face to face. But I travel a fair amount, and if I live in Texas and have a local attorney in Texas, he's not going to be able to do much for me if I have an incident in Indiana. Plus, now that I have signed up with these guys, it gives me the luxury of time so that I don't have to be in a big rush to find a local guy.

So at $99 for a year's worth of CCW Safe, with the benefits they offer (attorneys, investigators, expert witnesses, no cost ceiling for services, covers use of any weapon (not just gun), provides up to quarter million dollar bail bond, nation-wide coverage, and an A+ rating from the OK City BBB), it just seemed like too good a deal to pass up.
