GEICO: Gun Manufacturer Auto Policy Cancelled...
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | January 23, 2013 | sundance

GEICO Insurance Cultural Marxist Hypocrisy – Gun Manufacturer Auto Policy Cancelled Because He Is In Firearm Business….

Because he makes gun parts for a living this policy holder received a letter from GEICO cancelling his auto insurance. The letter says his auto insurance is being cancelled because he owns a company that manufactures parts for firearms:

(fyi, to insure the authenticity I have submitted a copy along with a request for verification to GEICO via email – we’ll see their response)

“The reason for cancellation is your vehicle [...] does not meet our underwriting guidelines because it is used in conjunction with a company that deals in the weapons industry

Get that?

OK, well, take a look at this:

“It is for his AUTO insurance. How does that relate to his business in gun parts? How is that even their business? Here’s hoping he has grounds to sue their sorry hides.”

Hey, it is a private company. They can choose to limit their exposure to risks as they wish. WE can also choose who to do business with. This is how free market work. Have you ever been sued and gone through the process in court? Unfortunately, I have. Insurance companies are forced to either settle suits, or spend more than the settlement to try to defend against them in juries that look like the demographic of Philadelphia.

At the end of the day, the insurance company is the ultimate “deep pocket” that scum sucking attorney’s target in lawsuits.

“Is geico going to refuse insurance to gang members or mobsters because their cars might get shot full of holes?”

I believe insurance companies already to refuse insurance for all kinds of reasons, including criminal acts.

He told me last Sunday that his insurance policy was canceled and he could no longer offer shooting classes. What will it be next - you own guns and they will not insure you?

To play devil's advocate here...insurance companies make money by taking in more in premiums than they pay out in claims.Being a firearms instructor may well be a riskier business,civil liability-wise,than many..if not most.One can at least begin to understand why an insurance company might refuse to insure such a business or charge very high premiums.IIRC,if you tell a life insurance company that you smoke,are an amateur (or professional) skydiver or race car driver they'll either refuse to insure you,charge you a high premium or include numerous exclusions in any policy they might be willing to offer you.

OTOH,refusing to insure an automobile that's used in the firearms business is very difficult to understand...from a profit and loss standpoint.Refusing to insure a firing range,OTOH,would be far easier to understand (for me at least).

Anyone who claims I wanted and worked for Romney to be our nominee is a worse fool than I thought (and yes, I've known you were a fool for a long time).

Anyone, like you, who claims he was persecuted for his faith on FR, when he was simply disagreed with simply doesn't have all his marbles.

Anyone, after the nomination was won, who didn't understand the difference between a RINO squish and an American hating full bore Marxist, as you didn't; anyone who actively worked to defeat Romney (as you did) owns the election result.

You got who you wanted, now live with it. He's all yours, you won. Congrats. You own this election.

Kindly take your act where the sun don't shine, kindly take your Axelrod "conservatism" elsewhere. You are a joke, plain and simple.

Anyone with half a conservative brain would not do business with this Soros concern anyways.

From 2006 thru 2011 there were 220,000 people killed in auto accidents. (US Government stats)

Thanks for the ping, my good brother.

Snopes is a Soros-owned thing, so be wary of what they post.

Yet another front is opened in the war.

F*** ‘em.

So says the Plantation slave who licks the palms of the GOP ruling class and nips at anyone who dares refuse to support his masters.

You're a known GOP party-hack and your Alinsky tactics are typical of you GOP Judenrats.

No offense intended. Snopes is ubiquitous on the ‘net and almost everyone relies on it. A lot of use who have used Snopes in the past have belatedly realized that the site has a leftist agenda.

We’re inching ever closer to not being able to buy or sell without the mark of the beast.

Hard to argue we’re not living in Biblical times.

Snopes now knows that some are paying very close attention looking for their spin. They have to watch their step.

It’s a good thing.

I did’t go to the source just the first page of the forum post. Remember, GEICO is OWNED by Warren Buffett.

GEICO: 15 minutes could cost you 15 years in a Federal prison

APPLICANT: I heard your ad on the radio and I’d like to apply for an auto poicy.

GEICO: Certainly Sir. As part of your application, could you please state whether you have or intend to use your vehicle to transport any firearms?

APPLICANT: Yes, I occasionally go hunting or take my family to the local firing range.

GEICO: I’m sorry Sir, but you’re not eligible for auto insurance with GEICO. We will, however, be reporting your gun ownership to the Department of Homeland Security and you can expect a visit by the Federal Firearm Confiscation Unit within the next 15 minutes. Have a nice day.

Yeah... I've since learned that asking Snopes to tell the truth is a lot like asking a liberal to tell the truth... oh wait. It's the same thing. :-) Thanks bro. :-)
