Why Gun Ranges Need to Have the Right Insurance Plans in Place

Most gun range owners go to great lengths to make their facilities as safe as possible. They hang up signs warning customers about staying safe at all times, install fire extinguishers for unforeseen incidents, and speak at length to those who come through their doors about keeping an eye and ear out for trouble.

However, the problem is that, no matter how careful a gun range owner might be, there is always going to be certain risks associated with running an establishment that caters to those who love firearms. That’s why insurance is a necessity.

The risks posed to gun ranges

You can take all the precautions necessary, but sometimes accidents happen. And when it comes to gun ranges, those accidents could be deadly. Injuries and even death might take place due to accidents and mistakes made by customers when firing guns. Additionally, something as simple as someone slipping and falling in the parking lot outside of the gun range could bring a big lawsuit along with it.

How insurance can protect your gun range

Fortunately, there is a way for gun range owners to protect themselves in the event of an injury or death. Liability insurance is specifically designed to prevent these things from putting a gun range owner out of business. In the event someone is injured or killed at a gun range, liability insurance will offer up all the protection a gun range owner needs. Most insurance policies will cover somewhere between $1 and $2 million, but you can pick out your own specific plan if you’re a gun range owner and ensure you have the proper coverage.
