Firearms insurance through the NRA

[LedJedi]

I was looking at the NRA website and noticed the link about the automatic insurance coverage for firearms on this page: http://www.nra.org/benefits.aspx

$1,000 of ArmsCare coverage with your NRA membership. This plan covers insured firearms, air guns, bows and arrows against theft, accidental loss, and damage. For special provisions and limitations of the ArmsCare Plan click here. ArmsCare

Is there anything I need to sign or fill out to put this coverage in effect or is it truly "automatic"?

Does anyone have any experience with actually filing a claim against this policy?

I just got my new member packet in the mail, and there was a form to sign and return to activate the policy. I guess a signature is required to legally opt in for a policy, but there is no additional fee. You probably can call to see if they'll send you a form or just take oral consent. Mine went in the mail yesterday. I really like how they don't require serial numbers or makes/models. My current insurance company wanted all information on my firearms, only covered $500, and still had a $500 deductable, so I passed on it.

Yeah, i didn't remember getting a sheet like that in my packet so I just called member services and asked them about it. They confirmed my coverage for me right over the phone, nothing to sign. :)

I love the NRA :)
