Introducing a gun insurance?

What are you buying for your insurance? With car insurance you're buying protection for yourself against a risk that either you cause an accident or someone else causes an accident that you are involved in.

I was referring to a liability insurance, if you kill or injure somebody (outside of legitime defense) with your firearm the insurance.

So who receives the insurance claim? If I shoot my mother in law, does my wife as an only child get a check?

Yes, your wife or your mother in law if you miss and she's still alive but what I think is more interesting is the built in incentive for the insurance to identify people at risk and charge them with such a high premium that it would deter some of them from buying a firearm and maybe eventually from a committing a deadly crime.
