Self-defense insurance? Case examples?

[Manxdriver]

I have car insurance, health insurance, home owners insurance, life insurance. I certainly didn't purchase any of those with the intention to use them. With the exception of fraud, has 'having insurance' ever played a part in a court case like you're suggesting?

I don't have self defense insurance, however I can see being bankrupted as something you also wouldn't want to face in a self defense trial if it came down to it.

Ummmm YES! Life Insurance and who is the payee comes up all the time in murder trials! Dont you have , like, TV where you live?

Another case of "Self-Defense" from the real-world. Notice the date of the "crime," and notice the date of judicial determination on Appeal. No mention of $ to carry forward with the expense for that outcome.

I'm a member of ACLDN. I hope I never need it, but I feel good about supporting the organization and (indirectly) fellow members. It's not "insurance." Always read the fine print. https://armedcitizensnetwork.org/lea...rship-benefits

And in this person's case, I do think that there is no self-defense "insurance" that would have helped him:

Do LEO's/LE Departments, the state police, court officials who carry as a requirement, etc have separate insurance riders or policies for their line of work or their employees line of work?
A Notary Public carries "errors and omissions" insurance. Motor vehicle carriers have a rider to cover the "extra" hazard of transporting hazardous and dangerous materials on public roads if they so chose to do that. Of course medical professionals and even the ones I see have malpractice insurance.
I would think that the state and any municipality most likely needs extra liability protections from their underwriters for their employees who are in harms way. (Or who put innocents in harms way as two recent high profile shootings have pointed out). It makes sense to have policies for specific protections in high liability scenarios if there is a chance it can happen. As one of our over advertising attorney firms state over and over again, you have to "choose wisely".

Yes, they do.
