I was reading the Times this afternoon when I read this article:
https://www.seattletimes.com/seattl...e-coverage-for-shootings-in-washington-state/
On one hand, I see Washington's position. The way the article is written, I could buy their insurance policy, then use a gun to go out and commit an armed robbery, and then because I used a gun, the cost of my defense is covered. (The only requirement in the article is that the use of the weapon be deliberate.) So yes, in that instance, Washington's law is doing a good thing by stopping the sale of insurance that would appear to cover a felon's defense.
Then in the last sentence in the article, they mention that another insurance agency has been fined for selling "similar..." insurance from the NRA.
Which raises the question is the NRA's carry insurance illegal in Washington State?
Is there a legal version of the NRA's policies? Does anyone really know?
