Self-defense insurance isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach.
You may need or want different coverage, depending on your unique needs. Thankfully, Right to Bear Insurance offers add-on options that can be added to any of the plans above, but the price for each will vary by plan.
The additional insurance add-ons available include:
Spousal Coverage
If you have a spouse, you need spousal coverage. Why? Let’s assume that your husband or wife isn’t on the policy, and someone breaks into your home while you’re away at work. In self-defense, your spouse picks up the firearm and shoots the intruder.
Unfortunately, if the person isn’t on your policy, the insurance coverage will not extend to your spouse, leaving both of you liable in any lawsuits.
Instead, you can add your spouse to the policy for the following:
- Bronze: $48
- Silver: $60
- Gold: $80
- Platinum: $100
These costs are annual.
Bail Bond Reimbursement
If you are arrested and bail is allowed, the cost of bail will be reimbursed to you. The cost to add bail bond reimbursement is $75 across all plans. Depending on the plan, coverage may be as much as $50,000.
Accidental Discharge
If you’re caught discharging your weapon and it’s an accident, the standard policy coverage will not cover these costs. However, if you want, you can add coverage for $75. This is a good option for anyone who conceal carries because there is a greater risk of accidental discharge occurring,
Training
All policyholders also gain a wealth of training and educational documents. When you sign up, you’ll gain access to the following as part of your membership:
- Self-defense tactics
- Training videos
- Webinars
Gun owners have a right to remain responsible, and this responsibility comes through education. You’ll learn self-defense basics and how you should react in critical situations. Education and training materials are often updated, with new materials added periodically.
Policyholders will have coverage as an individual and not based on their firearms. So, if you purchase new guns and one is used in self-defense, you can be confident that the coverage is valid.
