50. I have firearm liability and theft/fire insurance

Sat Oct 3, 2015, 10:09 PM

Oct 2015

They are two separate policies and inexpensive, the liability insurance is $100 a year and the theft/fire is $110.

Im not seeing how insurance could prevent incidents like this or any other criminal activity. Having vehicle insurance doesn't prevent people from breaking the law with those vehicles.
