The National Rifle Association launched a new program that insures gun owners in case they shoot someone.

There is also a hotline if the NRA Carry Guard member 'is forced to act in lawful self defense' for legal advice after a shooting.

The card tells members to call 911, wait for the police to show up then to call NRA Carry Guard.

Currently, 24 states have 'stand your ground' laws which allow gun owners to legally fatally shoot those who they deem a grave threat to their safety.

The program launched Monday and aims to train gun owners through a video, provide legal advice and insure them against criminal defense costs.

The website says the new program can provide gold and silver members with psychological support and clean-up costs. Prices range from $13.95 to $31.95 per month.

Peter Kochernburger, the deputy director of the Insurance Law Center told The Trace providing insurance to cover potential criminal liability seemed strange.

The NRA renamed the August Personal Defense Expo, the NRA Carry Guard Expo

He said: 'But if people are concerned about their liability with respect to self-defense, they’re not wrong to get the coverage.'

Carry Guard provides up to $1million in insurance-backed individual protection for legal fees.

Similar insurance plans to the NRA's already exist. The organization is aggressively pushing out the new program by creating its own website and renaming the August Personal Defense Expo, the NRA Carry Guard Expo.

In an op-ed published on the NRA website, NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch called America 'the most lawsuit-happy culture in the history of the world' and argued the program would protect gun owners against civil suits.

According to the NRA, there are 15 million legal gun owners in America.
