I guess I could see how it might be helpful with accidental shootings, but if the shooting happened in your house wouldn't home owners insurance cover it? If it were away from the house like out hunting or shooting, if you had health insurance and were injured it should cover it, but death might be another thing.

I guess I don't see a huge advantage to insuring a gun.
