i have not taken a detailed look at the other site, however i will for my own benefit. I can say that our firm covers both criminal and
civil trials under the contract for no additional attorney fees. I took a quick look at the other site to find the contract but did not
find it yet. Our contract is posted on our web site for you to read before you make a choice to join up.[/quote]

Understand, thank you. Will you please tell us how many clients you currently have? I ask as over the years I have seen many specialized insurance groups go belly up due to too few clients. I want to make sure you are going to be around a while. Please forgive our skepticism, there have been numerous rumors(?) over some such groups being bogus. CHL-ers, are by nature, cautious.
Thanks

There is no excuse for any police officer not to be fully informed of the laws concerning CHL. It's not like we just started handing out CHL's.

Firearms training and knowledge of CHL laws are not related.....at all.

I've had plenty of both, but it doesn't mean there is a relationship there.

That is true, but I was trying to point out lack of training period since where you are you said you have to have ongoing training. In fact, the same ex chief of police told me "people would be scared if they knew how poorly trained our police were." You may have missed where I stated the State Trooper said ANY no gun sign works the same. I am 49, never even have had a speeding ticket and a minister of a church... so I'm not against LEO's at all. Just every police dept is not the same when it comes to knowledge and training. Can still be great cops, but makes my carrying a tad more nerve racking.

Looked at their sight and looks interesting... they say they partner with TSRA. I know there have been questions about how legitimate several of these CHL prepaid insurance groups are. Does anyone have any personal experience (good or bad) or know of anyone who did? I could be interested.

Those that think Cops don't know CHL law are kidding yourselves. Maybe a small minority...but we have continuing ed classes on penal code updates, and we reference the penal code with every arrest we make, and every charge we file.

Gig, I was actually defending LEO's saying that some of the problem might not be bad cop but sometimes just misinformed. I will gladly introduce you to our local State Trooper Sarge who says ALL "no gun signs" are equally valid and will comprise a felony. I think he is a GOOD guy and appreciate his work. But he is simply misinformed about the law on this and the problem which was worse was that he could not be informed otherwise.

And may I add that there is a difference between good/bad cop vs UNINFORMED cop. I am sure that the local police in my community are good cops, but doesn't mean they are fully aware of current CHL laws. I recently asked an ex-police chief of a nearby community how much firearm training that the police in his town have, he shrugged his shoulders and said NONE.
