NY Official Who Investigated Gun-Liability Insurance Denied Immunity
Maria Vullo, the former superintendent of the New York Department of Financial Services, is appealing a decision by a federal judge that says she is not entitled to qualified immunity after fining several companies that sold or underwrote “carry guard” policies because it is unclear whether she threatened the companies that business with the National Rifle Association (NRA), reports the Courthouse News Service. Meant to protect owners sued after using their gun in self-defense, Carry Guard is marketed by the NRA and other gun advocates as insurance coverage, but Vullo said the coverage extends to individuals who were found to have used a gun with criminal intent.
