@Randy Bo recently started a thread about “If you lost everything” and it set my wheels spinning.
A friend of mine had all his firearms stolen a couple years ago. He had everything scheduled with the insurance company, and had pics with serial numbers. But no insurance can replace “Grandpa’s Shotgun,” etc.
However, they are still assets and we all have a LOT of money wrapped up in firearms, knives, optics, hunting gear, etc.
So my question is, how many people actually have specific insurance coverage on ALL you firearms? Is it part of your regular homeowners/renters policy? Do you carry a separate policy? Is it through an organization (NRA, SCI, DSC) or are you independent? Are you pleased with your coverage? Would you recommend your carrier?
I don’t want specific details, just general information. Please don’t say how much you spend, limits, how many firearms you have, etc. Stay at 30,000 feet level.
If anyone has ever had to use this type of insurance, how was the experience? Was the claim handled successfully? Or did you have to fight tooth and nail to get compensation?
I will admit I don’t have remotely enough coverage. On multiple occasions, I’ve looked into it, but never pulled the trigger. One reason is I own multiple custom muzzleloaders that have no serial number and I don’t know how to list them.
