Also, I was reading an article about some guy in US who is involved in some sort of local search and rescue services (volunteers), looking for people who are lost, sometimes in places where wildlife is truly wild, removing corpses etc.
The rescuers are strictly prohibited to bring any weapons (privately owned or issued by the government). A violation of this rule leads to lifelong exclusion from the organization.Why such strict rules? It turns out that it is because of the insurance. Each rescuer must have his own personal insurance, which he buys on his own account, but this type of insurance does not cover all specific conditions of the rescuers. Therefore, they have additional, so-called secondary insurance for each volunteer bought by the organization
Unlike us, the insurance companies are betting money on the calculations they make: the company which once calculates incorrectly loses its business.
And no insurance company agrees to provide their services at a reasonable price, if to an already dangerous work of saving people we add the probability of having a firearm.So this is for people out there who like the idea of free market and less government restrictions in all areas of human life, including the right to carry a guns:
The invisible hand of the market has decided that weapons are an unnecessary element- Compulsory insurance is not exactly free market if you are required to have any this not free market.yurimon
- It is. They are free to choose ANY provider of insurance. That is a free market.Morning_star
- the customer is the organization, not the volunteers
sit down, yurimon, D minusdrgs - you guys are crazy... if your forced to buy anything its not free market. lolyurimon
