Vacations are a cornerstone of American culture, and whether you’re flying across the country, driving the kids to their grandparents in another state, or camping in one of the dozens of national parks, it’s one tradition nearly everyone enjoys. However, besides deciding which clothes to pack and choosing whether to throw sandwiches in a cooler or sample diners along the way, there are some other important decisions that often get overlooked when it comes to travel: how to keep yourself educated, prepared, and protected while enjoying everything our great country has to offer.

There are numerous services available to travelers that help establish a support network should trouble pop up along the way. From AAA roadside service to travel insurance for plane tickets, healthcare, and more, Americans widely recognize that things might not always go according to plan. Just as most people wouldn’t think twice about having a spare tire and jack or even a fire extinguisher in the car for emergencies, a lawfully carried firearm can also be an appropriate tool. Being stranded on the side of the road waiting for help or stuck in an unfamiliar city is bad enough; finding yourself in an encounter where you need to defend yourself without the tools to deal with it is much worse. 

Simply being a member of U.S. LawShield® means you’ve recognized that life brings with it inherent risks and that being prepared for it is a journey. You’ve taken the first big steps on that path, and you can rest assured that you have access to important self-defense educational materials as well as 24/7/365 access to emergency legal advice and representation should the worst occur. But what happens when you cross your state line? That’s where our Multi-State Coverage comes in. Not everyone spends a lot of time outside of their home state, but with coverage anywhere in the country, even occasional road-trippers can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re covered during their travels.  

The fundamental protections that a U.S. LawShield membership offers are a shield between you and the financial and emotional burden of supporting your own legal defense, whether a civil or criminal case.  And with a plan that includes Multi-State Coverage, you can expand that protection to include all 50 states as well as Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico.  

So whether you’re planning your road-trip route, comparing airline ticket prices, or trying to find a hotel with a pool, make sure your vacation plans include checking out all our coverage options to make sure your coverage fits your exact needs, wherever you go.*
