All members will be covered for administartive actions against them following a self-defense use of force; to include "Red Flag Law" complaints following said use of force.  The Ultimate Plan will be the ONLY subscription plan that will contain a "Special Benefit" covering up to $10,000 of contracted attorney fees for proceedings associated with the Extreme Risk Protection Order outside of a use of force: 

EXTREME RISK PROTECTION ORDER: This order is also called "Red Flag Law" covered through a special benefit under the Ultimate plan.  CCW Safe will not provide the services if a member chooses to use force against the agent commissioned by the legal court order or judge to confiscate weapons; this would be an illegal act.  CCW Safe will not provide services on any "Extreme Risk Protection Order" that was in place prior to joining as a member and other than the special benefit under the Ultimate plan, not one that does not follow a Recognized Self-Defense Use of Force Incident.  CCW Safe will not provide services to existing Extreme Risk Protection Order or any legal requirements that arise from an existing order, including but not limited to Use of weapon incident, Any other use of force, Appeals, Extensions, Terminations, Written challenges, Renewals or any of Hearings stemming from an existing Extreme Risk Protection Order.  CCW Safe will not provide services for any orders that are not considered "Extreme Risk Protection Orders" to include any other forms of court issued personal protection orders restraining any other activities, including but not limited to Victim Protective Orders, personal restraining orders relating to harassment, stalking or domestic disputes.

EXTREME RISK PROTECTION ORDER COVERAGE (“Red Flag Law” Coverage):  The "Ultimate Plan" is the ONLY membership subscription that covers a legally issued Extreme Risk Protection Order that does not follow a Recognized Self-defense Use of Force Incident. CCW Safe will provide services and a contracted Attorney to represent the Primary Member and Spouse (if applicable) who are Ultimate Plan members if they are found to be the subject of an Extreme Risk Protection Order. This will include all legal proceedings or hearings. CCW Safe will pay the legal fees of the Contracted Attorney up to the maximum amount of $10,000 per covered member.

Any costs or fees exceeding the maximum amount shall be paid by the covered member.  This benefit shall cover all existing and new Ultimate Plan members. This Special Benefit shall not cover any Use of Force used to prevent any court appointed agent(s) or law enforcement officer from confiscating any weapon required to be turned over in compliance with a legally issued Extreme Risk Protection Order (see other restrictions below under “Restrictions, Limitations, Notices and Exclusions”).

Our mission is providing services to our members and protecting their liberty and property if they have been involved in a traumatic Self Defense incident.  Our company and all of our employees support the 2nd Amendment.

New Jersey state residents:

No incidents will be covered for any member within the state of New Jersey even if you are a resident of another state traveling through that state.  Memberships are not available in the state of New Jersey. We cannot and will not offer any exceptions although the govenor recently authorized law enforcement officers to be covered no companies were officially authorized to begin sales again (due to pending cease & desist complaints by the office of insurance in that state).  CCW Safe competitors were also banned from the state for coverage. 

Washington state residents:

CCW Safe is currently in the legal process with the state of Washington, so we cannot accept new members in Washington. We hope to have this cleared up in the coming months. However, there is always the chance that this action may result in CCW Safe not providing memberships to those in Washington. We will update members in Washington when there has been a resolution to this.

Members that are currently covered for membership are covered yet no new members will be accepted until determination is made at the end of November 2020.  An administrative judge will make a ruling as to any restrictions or if a stipulation for reimbursement if found guilty in a self-defense case will be warranted and required by the state.  Only incidents by non-restidents from states that have reciprocity with the state of Washington; no other non-residents shall be covered in the state of Washington even if you are a resident of another state traveling through that state at this time.  

CCW Safe competitors were also banned from doing business in the state as well.  This is an ongoing issue that will be updated in the near future.

New York state Residents:

Under circumstances beyond our control, CCW Safe no longer cover incidents or sell membership subscriptions for non-law enforcement members in New York state.  There are a few states and governors that are changing laws, legislation and insurance regulatory powers to force out companies that defend those involved in self-defense shootings incidents.  The state of New York has made moves following their lawsuit against the NRA, to deter and cease the actions of businesses designed to cover their citizens who are forced to defend themselves in a life-threatening attack.  This forced our competitors (NRA, USCCA, etc.) and now CCW Safe to comply with the new regulations and requests to stop business in their state.  Although, CCW Safe is not an insurance company, and did not (like our competitors) partner with traditional insurance companies to sell insurance policies; we are not going to sell plans to permit holders or gun owners in that state any longer.  You, as voters of your state, have to take up the fight and use your voting powers to get things changed.   

Our only exception is those that fall under federal guidelines of the following House Bill (HR218) "Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act" that allows police officers to carry nationally under federal authority.  We will only cover law enforcement for their off-duty incidents and those out of state where it is recognized coverage (New Jersey and Washington state excluded).  

Church's are required and responsible to cover the actions of those hired or act as their "Agents." If you are acting as an agent for the church, paid or volunteer, then the church would be responsible for covering an incident on their property.  When you are an individual or part of a group that is considered the people to alert or one of the church members to approach to handle suspicious people or handle threats you become part of "Security" even if there is no official title for that position but you take on the responsibility.  This is not to discourage what you are doing. It’s a great thing!  The church just needs to pay for the aftermath and legal consequences of the defensive shooting.  If this is not worked out by the church and individual/group that takes on this responsibility you will be left to foot the bill. 

CCW Safe only has one membership plan that covers an incident for those that volunteer as part of a church security team and that is the "Ultimate plan" under a "Special Benefit" allowed for that membership plan only.  All other permit plan and non-permit plans are excluded.  This is not to say that a member within their legal rights to defend their life or others, not part of a volunteer church security team, wouldn't be covered.  Only those who are knowingly taking on the position or responsibilites as part of a response team to handle threats on church grounds would be required to upgrade to the Ultimate plan for coverage.  

Remember:

This coverage is for OFF-Duty incidents where the member is not performing any security type functions for pay or volunteer services where he/she is protecting a location, person or property.  To qualify for the LE plan, you must be a commissioned peace officer, local, state or federal, with the full-time powers of arrest and the ability to carry a firearm under your commissioned status 24/7.  Those active officers are only covered for off-duty self-defense incidents in response to a life threatening attack.  Active officers must place the information of their agency state, name of agency and their commission/badge number in the space provided on the website for "permit/license and HR218" information.   

If retired LE, you must be considered a qualified law enforcement officer under the federal definition (see below) and be able to show support documentation and be carrying under LEOSA (HR218) or with a CCW permit. 

The following occupations DO NOT qualify for the plan and must join under the standard plan include: EMTs, Firemen, Emergency workers that are not LE, Correction Officers (that are not under LEOSA), Security guards, Paid or Volunteer Security officers, Bond Agents, Body Guards, Firearms Instructors, or any other person that does not fall under the definition of "Qualified law enforcement officer" through federal LEOSA guidelines.

We are all former LEOs.  You will need to Place in the designated fields "State", “CCW License” and “HR218” any information that shows your status and send a copy of retired ID to support@ccwsafe.com for verification of status.

A “Recognized Self-Defense Use of Force Incident” is an incident where force is used pursuant to a reasonable belief that use of deadly force is necessary to protect from imminent danger of death or great bodily harm.  This includes any necessary force with all legal weapons and physical force to defend against a life-threatening attack in self-defense.

These are sometines referred to as a "Critical Incidents" within our organization and DOES NOT include mutual combat incidents (fist fights, etc.) or where the member is the aggressor in the role of the assailant; although all incidents or request for services shall be reviewed by the Claims Committee on an individual basis for determination.
