When I first explored CCW Safe’s website, I felt immediately drawn to their unique approach to self-defense. The emphasis on a supportive team, personal care, emotional support and a holistic approach stood out. The thought of dealing with the legal aspects of self-defense is overwhelming enough, but the potential mental trauma is beyond comprehension. I wanted to delve more into CCW Safe’s personal approach to my self-defense needs should an event occur.
You just never know when you’ll be in the wrong place at the wrong time and need to defend yourself. Sometimes, you may have a self-defense tool other than your firearm with you. Think pepper spray, knife, baton, nearby bat, rock, etc. If that’s the case, would you still have coverage with CCW Safe? Yes! All CCW Safe plans cover the use of ANY legal weapon (including improvised weapons) to defend yourself or a third party from a life-threatening attack. This inclusive approach ensures that you’re covered, regardless of the self-defense tool you choose to use. That’s great to know since many of us find ourselves in “gun-free” zones.
Another important benefit I discovered in my search is automatic spousal coverage. The term “spouse” is defined as a significant other in a marriage, civil union or common-law marriage who resides in the same residence as the primary member. Even if they do not hold a concealed carry permit, a spouse is covered for recognized self-defense use-of-force incidents, but ONLY within the residence premises. There is also coverage (at no additional cost) for children under the age of 18 who reside in the home. This comprehensive coverage provides peace of mind, knowing that your loved ones are also protected. Should you want to add more coverage, there are other options available. Note: The states of New York, New Jersey and Washington do not allow coverage for self-defense incidents.
From first-hand experience, I realize the importance of getting a hold of someone when a tragic event occurs. Not knowing what to do or where to turn can make one feel helpless. Everyone wants to give you advice, but you just aren’t sure what the right thing is to do. With CCW Safe coverage, a 24-hour emergency hotline is available that’s answered by a live agent 24 hours/day, 365 days/year. These agents immediately connected callers to an attorney for legal support, providing a profound sense of relief and reassurance in such a distressing situation. In fact, our publisher, Barbara Baird, has purchased memberships for herself (including her spouse) and for her children and their spouses. After signing on, she accidentally called CCW Safe on her cell phone. After quickly hanging up, before she thought the call went through, CCW Safe called her back – to see if she was OK. That says a lot right there.
I cannot speak highly enough about the coverage information I found on CCW Safe’s website. When you become a member of CCW Safe, rest assured you will have the highest self-defense coverage in the industry. But don’t take my word; do your own research. When you read more about the holistic approach, I’m certain you, too, will realize it’s so much more than just getting an attorney for your legal battles.
After all the research I’ve done on CCW Safe, I’ve decided to become a member. I’ll join as soon as my Ohio concealed carry license renewal goes through.
