You carry it so you don't end up with a lawyer bill the size of a medical bill. That's the only reason most of us have it.
That’s really what I’m concerned about. I’m not some trigger happy maniac, but if I’m forced to defend myself or my family I don’t want to end up destitute because of it.
You will %100 be happy to have it if, god forbid, you ever have to defend yourself with lethal force. As the police will %99.99 of the time arrest you, as it's basically protocol until they have straightened everything out.
Which is understandable to be honest. If I’m a cop and I show up to one guy dead and another holding a gun, I’m not going to just let him walk away without a little context.
That's very fair. It's been something I've looked at.. but haven't given much thought... Apparently it's a popular idea and I should revisit.
Yep, it's peace of mind that you don't have to worry about the financial side of this. As there will be a mental side that's going to need help.
