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

Is reloading equipment covered?

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?
