Allstate is chomping at the bit !!
They were the first ones to stop donations to the boy Scouts years ago. I remember, and throw all the solicitations away. I won’t even read them.
Go for it!
My homeowners-business insurance policy for the 20ac Family Farm is $2,150/mo ($1.1mm) and I’ve been insured by the same Penna company, NOT Geico, for 30yrs. No claims.
They want an add’l $1,850/mo to insure an appraised $165k of choice firearms (incl 5 Class IIIs), massive 2.5-Ton Cannon T-65 dbl-door safe and LOTS of ammo.
They also claim that firearms and jewelry are “high risk loss” items, even though my security is 100% impenetrable w/ redundant back-ups.
I’ll be selling the Family Farm Complex this summer and moving into a house anyway, so if I get a similar notice, I can move the safe/firearms/ammo to another location, in case any inspection occurs.
The battle lines are being drawn.
!
“Firearms and ammunition tend to get lumped together for underwriting purposes, and some insurers won’t insure companies that transport either, again for liability reasons.”
So, for liability reasons, I’ll expect them to deny coverage to chicken farmers and egg producers because, after all, chicken droppings cause histoplasmosis and eggs cause salmonella.
Ban EVIL ASSAULT CHICKENS! ;)
If he or family is or was military, he could sign up for USAA insurance.
This was in my email today .....
Why Grandpa carries a gun........
Please take time to read this and pay particular attention to “A Little Gun History” about half way down.
Why Grandpa carries a gun
Scroll way down
PEOPLE ASK WHY?
Why Carry a Gun?
My old grandpa said to me ‘Son, there comes a time in every man’s life when
He stops bustin’ knuckles and starts bustin’ caps and
Usually it’s when he becomes too old to take an ass whoopin.’
I don’t carry a gun to kill people.
I carry a gun to keep from being killed.
I don’t carry a gun to scare people.
I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.
I don’t carry a gun because I’m paranoid.
I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.
I don’t carry a gun because I’m evil.
I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in theWorld.
I don’t carry a gun because I hate the government.
I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.
I don’t carry a gun because I’m angry.
I carry a gun so that I don’t have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.
I don’t carry a gun because I want to shoot someone.
I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on
A sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.
I don’t carry a gun because I’m a cowboy.
I carry a gun because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a cowboy.
I don’t carry a gun to make me feel like a man.
I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones They love.
I don’t carry a gun because I feel inadequate.
I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate...
I don’t carry a gun because I love it.
I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.
Police protection is an oxymoron.
Free citizens must protect themselves.
Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate theCrime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.
Personally, I carry a gun because I’m too young to die and too old to take
An ass whoopin’.....author unknown (but obviously brilliant)

You won’t see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians
Disseminating this information.
Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes,
Gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.
Take note my fellow Americans, before it’s too late!
The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of
This history lesson.
With guns, we are ‘citizens’. Without them, we are ‘subjects’.
During WW II the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew
Most Americans were ARMED!
If you value your freedom, please spread this anti gun-control message to
All of your friends.
The purpose of fighting is to win.
There is no possible victory in defense.
The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important
Than either.
The final weapon is the brain.
All else is supplemental.
SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY HOUSEHOLD A GUN!
SWITZERLAND ‘S GOVERNMENT TRAINS EVERY ADULT THEY ISSUE A RIFLE.
SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!!
IT’S A NO BRAINER!
Stay safe....
Surprised that anyone one here ever goes by what Snopes thinks. Another sham organization - IMO
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE INSURANCE COMPANY = GEICO.
Why is anyone surprised by this...?
Me too
He’s a ‘con job critter’, a lizard oil salesthing, a shape-shifting Gekkota, and a leftist drone. He learned the accent at Berlitz, and is remote-controlled by Buffett’s son, who lives in the old man’s mansion basement with “Vickie The Goat”, dressed-up in a French Maid’s costume, wears red lipstick and high heels.
There you are again, trying to use reason instead of buying into the groupthink and hysteria.
If you have a good record apply for insurance with Wawanesa. If you get accepted your will be shocked how much less your insurance will be. Mine dropped by more than half for same coverage level.
Say it isn’t soooooooooo
One lousy insurance company to begin with. GEICO (which no longer touts this) is Govt. Employees Insurance Company.
Low premiums, and NO payouts.
Gotta LOL
