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:

I would never buy GEICO insurance ! I remember back in the 1980’s, they were on this kick to get radar detectors banned nationwide. They only succeeded in getting them banned from commercial vehicles and military bases. And they were big on the 55 mph peed limit. Knowing about that since the late 1980’s was enough for me to never do business with them. They even went as far as when you got their insurance, they pay you a surprise visit and see if you had a detector in your car, you got canceled.
BS, the air is thick with companies bending over for Obama for favor and influence...Read the papers..
Insurers are in the business of evaluating risk.
And once evaluated they charge accordingly, like a driver with multiple moving violations. Get it?
Except Geico is one of those that go way out of their way to avoid paying legitimate claims, at all costs.

That’s OK, Ben will be happy to Quantatively Ease them, as they are to Pig to Flail.

Are you suggesting GEICO will not insure commercial accounts involving hazardous material, explosives, fuel, bio-hazard, military hardware, etc, etc?
Thanks. I just didn’t understand how gun *parts* posed a threat. It seems GEICO customer service could have clarified with him before they cancelled.

Warren and Bill Gates are best pals, and Libs to their rotten cores. Both would LOVE any masochistic punishment that can be heaped on them. Something to do with the guilt of being among the richest men on the planet - - - .
GEICO is a Berkshire Hathaway Company...guess who is the honcho? Warren Buffett.
Snopes is a fraudulent left wing a$$ covering site.
Actually, the NRA already does.
Jackass!!!!!
You have no right to complain about anything. Go back to your master Axelrod. Go back to KOS where you belong.
Insurers tend to group risks, to some extent. So, while gun parts don't pose a threat, companies that transport gun parts will also be likely (in the eyes of the insurer) to transport guns and ammunition.
And yes, GEICO's customer service could have done a *much* better job of dealing with this guy than they did. While I don't think GEICO's decision to drop coverage necessarily reflects an anti-gun political bent, I do think GEICO's conduct here reflects terrible customer service.
why make the distinction, is my point
the whole pot heats up...not just the water around the frog. it just heats up slowly
even if they only focused on businesses, are they going to pull corporate policies for other corporations? there are many businesses that support DoD directly (SAIC, Northrup, CSC, etc)
Well said.
The people here need to realize that we have lost the culture war. Electing a few conservatives to congress won’t help. Look at the Boehner fiasco. We couldn’t get 16 people (out of how many?) to torpedo his re-coronation to speaker?
Be realistic and prepare for what can logically be expected as a result of losing the culture war. Accept what is & stop flailing around.
You’ve got it about right. I was with them in the 70s and 80s while I was enlisted. Went to flight school in 81 and joined USAA. Been with USAA ever since.
Coming from a Ruling Class palm-licking stooge like yourself,
I take your insults the same way I do from the MarxoFascists....
...as a compliment.
Since your stooge “won” the nomination, and since revealed he never wanted the job of POTUS - it proves how pathetic you plantation slaves to the Judenrat GOP actually are.
Stick that demoralizing crap where the sun don't shine.
My ancestors fought to give birth to this, the greatest nation the world has ever known. I will not bow down to the left, and I will not ever dishonor my fathers by giving up faith in this country.
Spit!
I did some freelance MS Access database programming for an insurance broker who exclusively sold liability insurance policies (not basic property insurance mind you, but business liability insurance) to gas stations and professional liability insurance policies to architects and engineers. That’s all they sold and had quite a large number of clients. While working on this project I learned that not all commercial insurance companies, in fact a very few select companies even write policies for these groups, especially the gas stations as they carry their own sets of unique risks and liabilities and this broker found the ones who did. This broker and the insurance company policies they sold didn’t insure convenience stores unless the convenience store was secondary to the business primarily being a gas station but if the convenience store sold prepared food, then that part of the business had to be covered by another policy, often written by another insurer specializing in food service and “grocery store” policies. If I opened a convenience store and got liability insurance for that line of business and later put in gas pumps, unless my insurer was notified of that and was willing to write a rider for that, that line of business wouldn’t be covered and if gas stations were not part of their “risk pool” or “area of offered coverage” for lack of a better word, they’d probably cancel me.
As far as the auto policy, as you said, it was a commercial auto policy, not a personal auto policy and there is a very big difference between the two. Under my personal auto policy, I’m covered for my commute back and forth to work no matter what my line of work is or who my employer is or what line of business my company is in – all they are insuring is typical commuting and non-business personal travel. But if I drive my car on company business for anything other than very occasional and incidental company business, i.e. driving to a seminar, back and forth between offices on occasion; if I, for instance drive other employees back and forth between work sites, shuttle company clients around, make regular sales calls or carry or make deliveries in my or a company owned vehicle on a regular basis, I’m not covered under my personal auto policy during those trips and had better be covered under my company’s policy but then a whole other set of rules apply. And don’t even get me started on DOT rules and requirements that apply to people who drive trucks over a certain size.
If, for either my employer or as part of my own business, I transport in my regular day to day vehicle that I use to travel from home to work and back, large sums of cash or hazardous materials or items that make me at risk for being robbed, as in guns and ammo for instance, I had better have a rider on that commercial auto policy to cover me. And if the insurance company declines to cover certain risks, it is what it is. I’m sure there are insurers who do, but I understand why some don’t. It’s not that they are “anti” this or “anti” or “pro” that, it could just be because they don’t see a large enough pool of clients in that particular line of business, don’t have the “expertise” to assess the risks in that line of business to make it worth their while to insure them. Commercial liability insurance, including commercial auto insurance can get very complicated and there are highly specialized niches that not all commercial insurers choose to cover and others who specialize in the high risk niches.
The company I currently work for has UK ownership but my division is based in the US, but we have sales people on my US payroll based all around the country, a few who are US based but cover territories in Mexico or Canada and drive either a company leased car or their own vehicle on their sales calls, and they are covered under special commercial auto policy that covers that type of cross boarder international travel by car. But anyone and everyone who travels in a a personal or company vehicle as a regular part of their job, i.e. sales people and executives who regularly travel to various locations, are covered by a umbrella commercial auto policy and that policy requires that we as a company have and enforce company policies regarding use of “electronic communication devices”, i.e. cell phones and texting while driving bans and that we pull DMV records on an annual basis and conduct random drug and alcohol screenings among other provisions, something that I’m not required to do for my travel in my personal vehicle from home to office and back or for occasional and incidental business related trips during normal business hours.
And for the people who travel internationally on a regular basis on company business by air – we have one “travel” insurance policy for employee’s who exclusively travel domestically but a completely different policy written by a different insurer for those who travel internationally. The international travel policy covers medical emergencies, including among other things, airlifting back to the US for medical treatment, something that our regular health insurance policy doesn’t cover and even covers those ee’s who have opted out of our health insurance plan.
Commercial insurance can be very complicated depending on the complexity of the business and their perceived business risks and not one insurance company alone will often cover all the risks in any one line of business, especially if there are high risks in that line of business as defined by commercial underwriters.
GEICO is wholly owned by Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway investment fund. He is all in on Obama’s agenda.
