    p.s.

    I love coffee too, and Community Coffee has done more for Louisiana than BRCC/USCCA ever will. I'll probably stick with them as my generic default, and when I want "special" coffee I'll buy it from people who actually care about coffee, sourcing/producing especially small and specialty batches, rather than supporting a company that likely rebrands products and pretends its authentic while pushing bul***** stereotypes of what Veterans are supposed to look & act like so they can make more money off of a small and already heavy manipulated group of people. I see them as parasites looking for easy hosts, personally.
    I drink the yellow canned cafe du monde. Switched to Folgers temporarily and it’s not doing anything for me.

    I get this coffee roasted fresh and sent:

    My favorite is the Ethiopian Guji.

    One important note with this seller is to change the one-time-purchase from Amazon Prime (2 day shipping) to the "Other Sellers" option where you purchase directly from the company. They will roast the coffee within 1-3 days of the order and then ship it out directly to you.

    The order sent from Amazon is pre-roasted and isn't as fresh as getting it roasted to order.

    I’ll give it a try. I gotta go out of my way to get the cafe du monde, and they charge pretty high shipping if I buy direct.

    He meant well and was foolish, very true, but that's when he bettered the world for all of us.

    He's now as rich as can be, will never have peace again in his personal life, and it may be safer for him to stay in a spotlight than it is for him to fade into the darkness, because one of those people will find him there and no one else will see it happen.

    I am not a lawyer and the following is not legal advice.

    Regarding liability coverage: Look for an exclusion called intentional acts. Regardless of whether the act was prudent self defense most policies exclude any intentional act that results in harm. Most people have a homeowners policy and an umbrella; homeowners is primary and will almost certainly have this exclusion.

    Also, in Louisiana your homeowners needs to have a personal injury rider/endorsement to cover even unintentional acts. Many policy holders miss this.
    Sorta kinda. It's also defined in policies as "Expected Or Intended Injury". But in an open perils policy there is generally a provision stating:

    Exclusion: "Bodily injury" or "property damage" which is
    expected or intended by an "insured", even if
    the resulting "bodily injury" or "property
    damage":
    a. Is of a different kind, quality or degree than
    initially expected or intended; or
    b. Is sustained by a different person, entity or
    property than initially expected or intended.
    However, this Exclusion does not apply to
    "bodily injury" or "property damage" resulting
    from the use of reasonable force by an

    "insured" to protect persons or property;

    In that case, the following generally applies:

    If a claim is made or a suit is brought against an
    "insured" for damages because of "bodily injury"
    or "property damage" caused by an "occurrence"
    to which this coverage applies, we will:
    1. Pay up to our limit of liability for the damages
    for which an "insured" is legally liable.
    Damages include prejudgment interest
    awarded against an "insured"; and
    2. Provide a defense at our expense by counsel
    of our choice, even if the suit is groundless,
    false or fraudulent. We may investigate and
    settle any claim or suit that we decide is
    appropriate. Our duty to settle or defend ends
    when our limit of liability for the "occurrence"
    has been exhausted by payment of a judgment
    or settlement.


    There are limitations in where and how that coverage applies of course, as well as only up to your limit of liability coverage.

    A firm that promised to cover my legal expenses/provide an attorney if I’m ever in a pickle over a self defense shooting. If you haven’t seen the ads or heard about them by now, go check them out. My YouTube feed has been bombarded by stories about these guys literally turning against their clients. This is not the first story I’ve heard about them backing out of a claim. What’s worse is how they went about it. More than once, they passed judgement on the client. I made an informed decision and cancelled my membership/coverage. It’s one thing for a service like this to refuse a claim. It’s another altogether to turn on and pass judgement on a client on the public stage. I’m thinking a prosecutor could use that to sway a jury. I’d rather take my chances with a local attorney and my own purse. If any of you have or are thinking about any type of defense shooting insurance, please do your homework.
    I’m not saying CCW insurance is a bad idea, as I’m currently researching and looking for an alternative, but I’m convinced USCCA is not the one for me.


    My biggest irritation with that guy was this video:

    Where he repeatedly lumped CCW Safe in with USCCA without doing any research, considering CCW Safe's language includes covering criminal trial defense costs regardless of a conviction, including appeals and retrials.

    Looks like you have decent coverage. Who is your insurance through? I would like to switch because mine has an intentional act exclusion.

    I'd have to go back and check to confirm as I do a lot more commercial than residential claims, but from all the residential liability claims I've worked over the years I don't believe it's all that uncommon. In fact that language is the default in the HO-00-03-05-11-1, which many HO-3 policies are based on.

    I wonder if you have to list all your firearms to get insurance? Registration DB without being an actual "registration DB"?or at the very least, registering firearms owners if not the actual firearms? :dunno:

    I wouldn’t be surprised in the least if they implement that, but let’s not give them any ideas. Colorado isn’t a lot different than California as far as the state government nowadays. All these testbed states are worth keeping an eye on.
