Firearm Insurance
Providing Canada’s first firearm insurance program.
Acera Insurance has developed GunGuard, a specialty insurance program for firearm owners in Canada. This program provides critical coverage for your firearms for loss, theft and damage.
Your guide to firearm insurance.
Typically, firearm owners rely on their home insurance policy to cover firearms, but insurers are increasingly imposing limits on firearms or excluding them from coverage.
GunGuard offers a range of benefits including:
- Low $100 deductible on all policies
- Optional worldwide coverage available
- Firearms five years and newer are eligible for full replacement coverage
- For firearms six years or older, you will receive actual cash value as assessed by an approved firearms dealer

Do I need to supply a list of my firearms in order to purchase coverage?
No, Acera Insurance does not require a list of your firearms to issue a standard GunGuard policy.
Is reloading equipment covered?
No, reloading equipment is not covered.
How does the deductible work?
For any claim that happens in Canada, the deductible is $100. Should you have a claim in the USA, the deductible increases to $250.

Who do I contact if I have more questions about the coverage?
Contact the Acera Insurance firearm specialists at gunguard@acera.ca.
My firearms collection is worth more than the limit options available. Are there options available beyond $150,000?
Yes, should you have a larger collection we can discuss higher options. This will require additional conversation and details and we recommend contacting the team at gunguard@acera.ca.
