When the NRA continuely touts the use of a gun is so much safer than just about any other sports tool, why does the cost of gun club liability insurance cost so much? Is it the public perception that has so drastically caused the cost of such insurance to rise astronomically since 9-11? Most insurance companies now advocate at least a $1 million policy for liability and the cost to most clubs is now several thousand dollars per year.
Now I know that the NRA has an endorsed insurance program as well but it is not any less expensive than commercial insurance. Why since this shooting sport is so safe could not the NRA or some other shooting organization create a specific insurance program just for gun clubs and ranges that would reduce this horrific cost.
Many clubs have been forced to shutdown and others are struggling with the high cost of such insurance. If our sport is so safe why are we paying such high premiums? Anyone got an answer?
