great review Keith. I have been looking at this stuff for so long it seems. Comparing everything down to the detail of coverage can be mind boggling.

We had a a bit of an overview with Armed Citizen Legal Defense yesterday. The one thing that was off putting to me about them is this scenario: S has hit the fan, you call their hotline, someone picks up and they hear your side of the story...but no action is taken until their "board" convenes and THEY decide that it was a righteous shoot, etc. meanwhile you're sitting in jail, maybe you're charged maybe you're not. Then THEY decide whether or not to take the case on. Doesn't sound much like self defense protection to me. Sounds pretty similar to the kind of behavior we hear coming from other "providers" of this sort of service. i understand no one wants to lose as case, but if you advertise yourself as a service that someone PAYS for then, dern it...you better step up and do your job. If not then I call it fraud.

ACLDN, like any other 'protection' coverage, has a duty before paying money to assess that it is in fact a lawful justified self-defense action. That's prudent.

That you want an immediate payout before an assessment is foolish. It's not fraudulent to require an assessment. That's how they stay in business.

Your argument is flawed, without merit, and seriously lacking in common business and legal sense.

Please demonstrate to me where I said ANYTHING about COST? I wrote, "I understand no one wants to lose a case, but if you advertise yourself as a service that someone PAYS for then, dern it...you better step up and do your job." This is applicable to ANY service out there.

We all have to do our own due diligence in these matters and make choices on what's best for ourselves. I simply stated facts as I have discovered them.

Your attacking my viewpoint, based on facts, being communist is, in fact, a communist viewpoint/tactic- "see it my way or else". Not playing the emoting game.

I agree with you. You're pointing out legitimate concerns that should be addressed, rather be criticized for having asked them. Appreciate your service to our country.

The discussion is really irrelevant to me. Different people have different risk levels that they are willing to accept based on their circumstance. Acdl doesnt fall into my risk acceptance level circumstances. I didn't say they are necessarily bad, just not for me. Not playing the emoting game again.
