Just get them to pay for SSAA membership.

As members of the SSAA you'll have a large public liability policy as part of your membership ( see the reverse side of your membership card)

That will cover you for accidental damage provided you are not being paid to shoot.

I was recently in a similar position. I have my own properties that I have shot on for years without insurance. However I was invited to a new place, where insurance was a pre-requisite. Joining SSAA was the simple solution.

I paid $90 for the year, they do offer a plan for $125 where they insure your firearms.
The magazine they send out is not too bad, if you wanted a gun magazine subscription for the year it probably wouldn’t be far off that $90 anyway.
Also gives me a couple of bucks off when I go to the range.

There's any number of other hunting and shooting clubs which offer insurance apart from SSAA...

Just check with your own home insurance - you may already have PL insurance aligned with an existing policy - especially possible if you’ve nominated your firearms as special cover on house policy.

Weeell. As it happened i needed to ph about my home insurance today so i asked the question. My insurance comes with 20ml of liability insurance. Guess what, covers me if i am sued providing i am abiding by the law. Example given was if i walk my dog, if it bites another person im covered. Good enough for me. :thumbsup:

What would concern me about home insurance is the company using some obscure technical loophole to weasel their way out of a claim.
They're bastards when its actually something to do with your house, let alone a shooting trip.!

True. But then, insurance companies always resist paying. I guess read the fine print, i am.
