Dear WLS
Follow-up from last week-
(Original Question) I’ve been thinking about signing up for Second Call Defense. I probably will no matter the answer to this question but just had this thought and wanted to see what the response is. Does SCD cover you for other firearm related incidents that don’t involve self defense? For example, carrying a gun in a commie state like if I vacationed to New York or Illinois? Slightly more extreme situation, do they help protect me if I’m found to be in possession of some NFA items without the proper paperwork? If I have the basic plan and someone in my household uses one of my guns to defend against an intruder and I’m not home, do they help with that if I own the home and gun? Are there specific circumstances that they blatantly say they don’t cover or help with outside of the “I’m obviously completely in the wrong, misused a firearm, and am completely retarded” scenarios? You guys rock. No notes.
Additional Info From Mitch C:
I am the one that had the question about Second Call Defense and wanted to provide a little more clarity to what I was asking. When I heard you read it, I realized it did sound pretty retarded basically asking if I blatantly commit a felony will they protect me. That’s not what I meant, Jeremy.
The NFA part in my question was in reference to if I had my legally owned can out at the range and for whatever reason I don’t have a copy of my tax stamp on me. Or SBR. Or if there is a fudd agent that believes I have an unregistered SBR but it’s really an AOW because my overall length is greater than 26”. I’m not asking if I just go ahead and drill a third hole on a Wednesday night if they will defend me in court. I just want to know if they will cover me against a power hungry, incompetent ATF agent or like I said earlier, a lapse in judgement where I grab the wrong range bag that doesn’t have the tax stamp for my legally owned suppressor and my luck is so terrible that I cross an ATF check point at the range. Exaggerated and most likely not to happen but just curious.
The conceal carry in a bad state scenario is if I’m traveling from Ohio to Iowa and have to pass through Illinois. I believe the laws have changed to allow me to carry as long as I don’t have plans to stay in Illinois but please correct me if I’m wrong on that. But if it’s riot season and get caught up in a situation where I have to use it to protect myself, will SCD still cover me? Again, I know specific and it’s still breaking the law, to agree with Jeremy, but will SCD still fight for my right to self protection in that state? And I don’t even mean a Rittenhouse scenario, I mean I stop at a gas station to fill up and it just so happens to be wrong station at wrong time. I know, I know… be aware of surroundings and don’t put yourself in those situations but on a drive I’ve never taken before to a place I’ve never before and it’s just a stop for gas, who knows what’s off that exit. Very specific, I know, but just trying to paint a picture.
