(WASHINGTON TIMES) – The market for concealed-carry insurance is booming because Americans are worried about rising crime rates and the Supreme Court forced blue states to loosen strict restrictions on who can pack heat in public.
Gun carriers obtain the insurance in case they end up using their weapons and find themselves facing legal fees or need to pay for an attorney because of criminal accusations.
Delta Defense, which runs the U.S. Concealed Carry Association (USCCA), told Fox News that its membership more than doubled from 300,000 in 2020 to 700,000. Its CEO said the surge is due to the “millions of brand-new gun owners there are in the wake of primarily all the riots that happened in early 2020.”
