Definition: Concealed weapons insurance refers to a type of insurance policy that covers the protection against the destruction or loss of firearms, including semiautomatic rifles, shotguns, and revolvers. The term "concealed weapons" usually refers to a weapon that is not openly available to the public. In some jurisdictions, this includes semi-automatic or automatic weapons such as assault rifles, but also includes non-automated weapons like pistols and shotguns that are concealed within clothing. When an insurance policy is designed to cover the loss of firearms due to their concealment, it typically has a clause that says if the policyholder fails to show that they have properly concealed their firearm or other dangerous weapon, the insurer will be deemed responsible for any losses resulting from that failure. This coverage can help mitigate liability risks associated with firearms and protect individuals who may not be able to bring their guns into public view. The concept of a "concealed weapons insurance policy" is particularly important in jurisdictions where there are restrictions on the display or access of firearms, as this type of policy helps to ensure that the loss of firearms does not result in liability for those who do not take proper measures to conceal them.
