Gun Insurance

We've seen a couple reports now of gun theft. I have all my guns insured on a separate policy through USAA.

I recently slipped and fell while ptarmigan hunting and destroyed my Ithaca NID .410

...USAA was incredible and have covered the entire cost of repair including the round trip shipping with no deductible.

They wanted to have it totaled and pay me for the gun rather than repair it so the only downside was convincing the adjuster that the gun was an antique and a collector's piece.

Thanks heavens for the insurance policy.

Anyone else have a similar policy?

Yes Sir. Have had one for many many years through Core-Vens out of Iowa. Underwritten by Travelers. Good folks to deal with.

I have coverage through the NRA Armscare. Never used it just make the annual premium.

I had bad luck with NRA Armscare about 20 years ago. Lost a stainless Taurus 431 out of a shoulder holster in the mountains. Paid $225 for it new. Made a claim on Armscare and they said they had a $250 deductible so I got zip. Not worth fighting over, so I just let it go.

Eastern Insurance, in Mass. low rates cover slip and falls, and also cover firearms while travelling outside the US, NRA insurance does not and a lot of other policies are the same so check before you need it. Also covers shipping which some policies don't too.

Me too. After having the forms laying on my desk for a year or two I finally took the plunge last year. Thankfully I haven't had occasion to use it but I have heard nothing but good things about the company.

Here’s the damage to my Ithaca.

Shawn, I felt bad when you told me what happened to your .410. I'm very glad it all worked out for you.

Can you explain the fall? It must have been wicked.
