Policy will pay out when you are acquitted of such criminal charges or the charges are dropped.

It's an easier to way to waste your money.

Is there a way to scam their own members and take their money that they haven't thought up?

Since she was completely broke, or that's what she told the court,anyway. I wonder if they'll offer perjury insurance next.

insurance companies dont like to pay off. So, even tho the law permits you to kill, the insurance company might not agree and challenge you to prove is was justified.

And no I dont hunt, just pointing out your claim isnt valid.

And I can tell you, hunting involves killing. See, you point the gun at a deer and fire. The deer doesn't drop dead out of kindness and appreciation for your aiming skill. It drops dead because a chunk of lead cased in copper just entered its body, mushroomed from the impact, and is causing fatal lacerations inside its body. And most often it doesn't drop dead at all, it freaks out, panics, and hauls its skinny ass into the woods as fast as it can while its lungs fill with blood from the bullet you just put into them. if you - the hunter - are a competent shot, it shouldn't go too far before collapsing. Sometimes though the animal gets away to die in misery or suffer infection or get torn apart by feral dogs somewhere later due to your less-than-accurate shot.

it's not like "Oregon Trail" at all.

When their loudmouth advocates finally knuckle down and admit that a gun is a weapon. A gun is not some vague moral principle, a gun is not an objet d'art, a gun is not a piece of sports equipment. A gun is a weapon. Oh they CAN be attractive, they can be used in sports. But at the end of the day a gun is a tool designed to launch a pellet of metal into another organism and cause it lethal harm.

There seems to be this weird attitude among some gun fetishists - and certainly among the sorts that drive the NRA's lobbying wing - that a gun is anything BUT a weapon. It reminds me of the time my dad caught me lifting his playboys and I claimed it had more to do with the insightful editorials than the lovely Jessica Hahn...
