There is a down side. It only covers listed items. I have to make an inventory of those items I want to insure, provide values, model numbers, serial numbers and such as may available. I also now keep a folder of photos.
For items that you regularly have when you travel that are difficult to replace or expensive, the insurance is cheap.
Are you sure this covers value items in luggage checked into a commercial aircraft? The extra insurance the airlines sell exclude valuables. Third party travel insurance has limited liability; haven't seen any that would support a $7K claim.

I believe the consensus is that a starter pistol or flare gun is immune from NJ/NY/NYC extreme firearm laws.
