NRA NEWS GUN OWNERS INSURANCE *****NYS FIREARM INSURANCE****** NYS is still fighting its battle to harass legal gun owners. Read the following: USCCA stopped coverage for all NY subscribers early in June. So did the NRA s sponsored company. This is due to Cuomo's illegal secondary boycott against any company doing business with the NRA or any gun company/seller/manufacturer, etc. Cuomo's working through Citibank to cut-off financing for all of these businesses. The NRA is suing on our behalf. However, CCW Safe is still operating. This should make you seething mad and determined to end NYS s anti 2nd amendment stance. Cuomo s gotta go!!! Charles Harris has information on gun insurance for people who own and/or carry weapons. The club is not endorsing any insurance or suggesting you get insurance. Realizing the anti-gun state we live in, everyone should evaluate their individual liability and whether or not this insurance is right for them. Information on the insurance can be obtained by contacting Charles Harris. NRA Grant Proposal will be submitted. More details on the project to be discussed as information is available.
