Personal Product Placement Disclaimer: I had more than a few board members and their significant others attend my CCW class. I do agree, if you can own a gun you should be able to carry it. With that being said like any other dangerous tool like a chain saw or planer, just because you have them does not know you have any idea how to use it, properly.
There are many good-great instructors out there, i suggest you take as many courses as the budget allows.
Practice, practice, Practice. Then practice some more. have contingency plans, then backup ones for when plan A goes in the shitter. Your wallet, tv, bbq or even the car is replaceable, your child, wife, who ever is not.
And yes even when cleared by the DA you will have built up $20-40K in legal fees , not including any piece of shit relative climbing out of the woodwork to get a slice of your pie.
This isn't exactly "insurance" but may be what you're looking for.
Armed Citizens' Legal Defense Network

They have criminal defense attorneys in most major metro areas, and will put one on a member's case as soon as they are notified of an incident. If I recall correctly $5k is automatic, another $5k is automatic if felony charges are filed. From there the board meets as the case progresses and provides additional funds, contacts with experts, etc. as needed.
No true Scotsman.

I've been checking out that ALCDN insurance.
It's only $85 a year to be a member.
I've seen good reviews about it
