This topic has been discussed on the internet for some time now. Here is the response from State Farm regarding this subject. The source is here:

http://www.conservativemonitor.com/news/2001020.shtml

The Conservative Monitor Received the following note regarding this article. It is a statement reputedly from State Farm Insurance to an interested reader who researched the matter further. The Conservative Monitor is making further inquiries regarding the facts of the case.

State Farm insures millions of gun owners, likely the most of any insurer in the United States -- many of whom are our own agents and employees. We provide firearms property and liability coverage automatically as part of our homeowners insurance policy. We also have personal articles and personal liability policies that cover firearms and the lawful use of those firearms by our policyholders. Our homeowners policy covers the liability exposure for normal recreational shooting and hunting activities for policyholders and guests. In general, deciding whether to provide or continue insurance coverage involves examining every situation (risk) on its own merits. When the risk presented exceeds our expectations of normal recreational shooting, it may become a necessary business decision to decline coverage. A reasonable level of shooting activity would be within the parameters of intended coverage. State Farm works very hard to earn and keep the business of its customers; it is a very serious matter when we feel we must end a relationship with a policyholder. Our insurance decisions are based on the individual facts at hand and the level of risk involved. We hope this information demonstrates that State Farm Insurance is not opposed to the reasonable and responsible ownership and use of firearms.

Thank you for the opportunity to respond.
