Frequently Asked Questions

What happened to the off-duty Chicago police officer who was attacked?

An off-duty female police officer in Chicago was attacked by a man attempting to steal her open-carry handgun. She successfully defended herself by shooting and killing the assailant. She was placed on administrative leave but not criminally charged.

Why is concealed carry insurance important after a self-defense incident?

Even if you act lawfully in self-defense, the attacker's family may file a civil lawsuit seeking significant damages. Concealed carry insurance helps cover the substantial legal fees and potential judgments associated with such lawsuits, protecting your financial future.

What are the risks associated with open carry?

Open carry alerts criminals to the presence of a firearm, potentially making the carrier a target for robbery or assault. It can also give attackers more time to strategize and may not deter hardened criminals, unlike concealed carry which offers a tactical advantage.

How does a firearm act as an equalizer?

A firearm is considered an equalizer because it can level the playing field between individuals of differing physical abilities. It allows someone who may be physically weaker or smaller, such as a woman facing a larger male attacker, to defend themselves effectively.
