The National Rifle Association has announced it will make available a new training program bundled with an insurance plan targeted at the 14 million Americans who are legally permitted to carry concealed weapons across the country.
NRA has yet to thrash out details of the program, pertaining to cost, training locations and timeline for availability. However, the organization said that current NRA certified instructors, law enforcement officers and military personnel are qualified to apply as Carry Guard professionals.
Meanwhile, the
Washington Free Beacon said that the concealed carry insurance plan will be available in bronze, silver and gold memberships. Each of these packages will offer different levels of financial protection, which include reimbursements upon a non-guilty verdict during a civil or criminal lawsuit.

“Of our five million members, a lot of those folks carry and they have been clamoring for the NRA to provide an elite product with respect to training, insurance, and education,” NRA spokesperson Bill Powers told the
Washington Free Beacon in a report.
“The NRA has responded to our members and to the demand of the consumers, gun carrying consumers, that really wanted a first-rate elite program. NRA Carry Guard is an elite training, insurance, and education program. It is the finest in the world. For any citizen who gets up and puts a gun on their hip, Carry Guard is for them.”
