As I said I don't work for any of these businesses. The 'pitch' here is to simply offer up this as a topic for your consideration.
I would URGE every Texas Freeper that doesn’t have this form of insurance or at the very least legal shield to get them immediately. EVERY use of force death be it shooting or any other means in Texas goes before a Grand Jury it is in our penal code. You will stand before a Grand Jury if you kill someone in Texas that’s just a fact.
Maybe we all need to have signs posted on our property that says “If you trespass on my property, I will have to assume your intentions are to harm my family and me. As such, your life will be at risk, as I will defend my family and myself. If you value your life, please do not trespass.”
Good advice. Get insurance, carry, get educated, and take care of yourself and family. You do it for your home, car, health, for you and family’s sake take care of you.
Avoid a bad situation, retreat if you can, there’s only one winner in a gun fight. You have to be that one.
Insurance and ammo are both cheap, while life is dear.
Choose accordingly.
I thought it was insane to have liability insurance in case a deer hunter fell from his own deer stand on my property. So, I quit leasing out to hunters.
Even though Texas law favors the defender, some counties have liberal DA’s who will make your life hell if you have to shoot someone. I highly recommend defense insurance. After reviewing them all, I went with USCCA for a few good reasons. They have no caps on some of their coverage, and they also insured you against civil loss.
You could also identify them in advance, like you would a rabid skunk.
The McCloskeys have given us advance warning of what a rabid skunk Soros "prosecutor" will do to you if they get hold of you.
Nathan Bedford Forrest has given us life lessons in how to conduct ourselves in those cases.

I have heard positive things about USCCA,

but I’d like to read some reports of how effective they have been for those unfortunate enough to have needed their services.
Personally, next to my CPL, I carry a business card from a very good “firearms” criminal attorney in my wallet.
The old adage of saying nothing without your attorney present is golden advice. Cooperate, be polite, tell them you are suffering from shock and wish to be treated at a hospital, but say nothing until your attorney is present. A night in jail or being handcuffed in a hospital is far better than years behind bars.
Texas has Castle doctrine we already have the legal right to assume that anyone unlawfully entering our vehicle, place of business or home by their uninvited presence is prima facie evidence of nefarious intent. No retreat is necessary nor is any warning with regard to the use of force. In Texas when the use of force is authorised it is again automatically implied that deadly force is expected. Yes I was for 11 years in law enforcement I’m intimately familiar with Texas Penal code.
Thank you for your guidance.
I’ve had Second Call Defense for about five years now.
I guess the issue would be who would provide the insurance? If you have a policy and your actions are deemed criminal (solely for political purposes), than is the insurance provider off the hook for payment?
I couldn’t imagine how statisticians could arrive at rates for this; it is different than insuring a property with a set replacement value. The loss could be massive.
And there are dangerous Soros district attorneys in Texas as well, one being Kim Ogg of Harris County. On the day she took office she fired any prosecutor she did not like, and a lot were fired. I had a neighbor who was a junior prosecutor who admitted to being a liberal Democrat, but viewed her job as enforcing the law, regardless. She viewed Kim Ogg as having too many overriding personal agendas. She was one of those fired since she was not 110% on board with the pet agendas.
Pretty wordy, but if anyone actually takes the time to read it all, it would give you more time to react.
After procrastinating for years, I bought USCCA insurance last spring. The probability of being involved with a self defense incident has sky rocketed. Why go bankrupt defending myself?
For $35 a month I get 150k for legal fees and a million in liability insurance.
Buying this insurance is banned in Washington state, the Governor/Insurance Commissioner call it ‘Murder Insurance’.
