[DEVIL DOG]

Can't wait to see the line up for Hoodlums in the "D" to buy insurance.

At least we now know who to encourage others NOT to vote for next time around.

yeah, if people there won't even buy car insurance...

[Snowy.vtwin]

Just for handguns or rifles as well?

So come cpl renewal time we'll need a proof of insurance? With all the serial numbers listed?

The end is near?

This bill and resulting legislation has me all sorts of pissed off right now...

Stop getting all worked up as if it's already happened- this is going to die in committee.

Section 4913 is scary! Essentially, it seems to imply that this insurance is not payable if you shoot someone without a firearm. I guess you're liable if attacked by a group of thugs with knives, baseball bats or bare fists. Also, the reporting clauses by the firearm owner appear to bypass the 4th and 5th amendments to the U.S. constitution.

Fair disclosure: I am not an attorney. I just slept with a law student once .😀

I am all for reducing illegal firearms. But probably don't support this legislation.

But this is crazy. The best way to carry insurance protection (PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR AGENT AND READ THE POLICY) may be to purchase what's called an "Umbrella Policy"....they cover you against pretty much anything you could possibly be liable for and $1-2 Mill in coverage is pretty affordable. Last time I had one of these it cost me $25/month. I got it when I has doing some major remodeling to my home and running a crew of unemployed carpenters with myself as contractor. Was pretty sure non of them had insurance.

Lets pass a law requiring insurance unless you have a gun to protect yourself.

The insurance companies will love it.
