Opinion
Montana – -(AmmoLand.com)- Some states with anti-gun leadership [read Democrats] are trying to eliminate any sort of insurance that will help protect a gun owner if a gun owner should be forced to use a gun in self-defense. These states offer as authority for halting self-defense insurance that it’s disallowed to insure an illegal activity.
Yeah, right. Another anti-gun lie.
Most states have a position titled “Insurance Commissioner” who regulates insurance matters.
In Washington State, the Office of Insurance Commissioner has sent cease and desist letters to the NRA for their Carry Guard insurance. The WA OIC has sent similar letters to the United States Concealed Carry Association, the Armed Citizen Legal Defense Network, U.S. Law Shield, Firearms Legal Protection, and CCW Safe, demanding that all quit doing business in WA. The same thing is happening in New York, and likely other states not yet on my radar.
In Montana, the function of an insurance commissioner is performed by our State Auditor, an elected position most people don’t think about much. Our current State Auditor is Matt Rosendale. Matt served formerly in the Montana Senate, and while there successfully carried MSSA’s Ammunition Availability Act. Matt is now running for Montana’s lone seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, so he will not be Montana’s State Auditor beyond 2020.
There are three Republicans, two Democrats, and a Libertarian who have filed to run to be Montana’s next State Auditor. So, there is a Primary race among both the Republicans and Democrats.
Because of the attack on self-defense insurance in other states, the race for State Auditor is worth paying attention to in Montana. As voters, you and your friends should know which candidates pledge that self-defense insurance will NOT be targeted for eradication in Montana. Ask them.

Leave it to democrat politicians and bureaucrats to make legal defense a new criminal activity. Usually the coverage afforded by this so-called gun insurance will only provide legal protection if their use of a weapon is a lawful response. What are these morons so afraid of? This is just another infringement on the 2nd Amendment and we know it. These treasonous tyrants must be removed or our country is truly lost.
So they say “self defense” is an illegal activity.
This is a good wake-up call to all gun owners, in every state. Now is a good time for it as many of us have another week or two during the Corvid economy stall out. We can write our representatives, governors, etc. This is just one more way the anti-gunner try to stop our lifestyle and right to defend our families. One more thing they do to legislate the cost of self-defense out the roof.
Tyranny under color of law. Their oath of office IS broken. The day IS COMMING when those who would disavow their oath of office are put/thrown out of office. These people vowed before GOD ALMIGHTY they would defend the nation, the people and the constitution against ALL enemies. They have meet the enemy and it is them. These people should be dragged out of office, arrested, held without bail until they are judged by the courts. Then, if/when found guilty, they should be hung by the neck until dead. If the courts, enforcement, lawyers and judges won’t follow the constitution,… Read more »
Is it not illegal to run over someone with a car? Isn’t burning down a house arson and also illegal? By their logic, shouldn’t insurance for such events be just as illegal as self defense insurance? Next thing you know they will make it illegal for homeowners insurance to cover stolen firearms.
