81: What is Gun Liability Insurance?

After the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, there were many proposals advanced by the media, advocacy groups, legislators, and academics for mandating liability insurance for all gun owners. None of those legislative proposals passed, but the argument continues. To discuss why that was, what gun liability insurance actually is, and if it could be helpful, JJ is joined by Peter Kochenburger, who is the Executive Director of the Insurance Law LL.M. Program, Deputy Director of the Insurance Law Center and Associate Clinical Professor of Law at UConn Law School. Peter is an expert on gun liability insurance.
