I just finished the CCW class for Illinois this past weekend. Wow - my eyes were really opened. There are so many things to consider. It isn't a matter of knowing that you are approaching carrying a gun legally or "where" you can carry and where you can't. Our instructor tossed out many scenarios I had not anticipated and challenged me to think about what I would do. The class also made me realize how untrained I am in reacting to these potential situations - something I plan to correct.
Another issue mentioned in the class was liability insurance. Has anyone researched this? I'm talking about liability due to a civil lawsuit if you are involved in a self-defense shooting. I've been looking into options and have mentioned it to my insurance agent. I've read a bit from the U.S.C.C.A. website about how they offer incrementally up to $1.1 million depending on your membership.
Thoughts?
