serpentracer Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 insurance companies fuck people over daily. I bet that guy was even an outspoken advocate against the obama care. now that he's a victim the tables have turned i guess. they probably found out he's using it for business. even if you deliver pizza you have to get a different policy on your vehicle. reading is a lacking american skill and he's paying for it.

You're right, reading comprehension is lacking in America. First, the letter is from "GEICO COMMERCIAL INSURANCE", meaning it was a commercial (or business as you put) policy. Second, it specifically says, "because it is used in conjunction with a company that deals in the weapons industry". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have missed the part where he's screaming about the need for the government to step in and mandate coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I don't normally jump in on Caspers Tin Foil Hat trolls, but this one does seem to be part of a pattern.http://www.thehighroad.org/archive/index.php/t-50723.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiggy74 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 How is this not discrimination if the policy holder is doing something completely legal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 looking at it from a business perspective, "gun owner" is not a protected class (gender, race, age). they can refuse business to whoever they want for whatever reason they want since they're a corporation not a gov/publicly owned entity. that doesn't mean people can't give them all sorts of shit for being scumbags.

Scruit Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I wonder if Geico has defined standards for vehicles used in the weapons industry, such as must have a given type of safe or must have some kind of locking trunk.If they're transporting weapons in a minivan with clear windows and no safe then that's a different level of insurance risk than if they are transporting in a plain van with no rear windows and a safe.Just wondering.

Has to be more of an anti gun attack. Edited January 23, 2013 by cOoTeR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) If this were the vase why wouldn't the suggest he make the vehicle compliant with the requirements? Has to be more of an anti gun attack.That is not the vase.This is the vase: Have any other weapons industry folks reported the same thing?I'm really wondering if he didn't have the vehicle insured for personal use and they dropped him because someone narked on him for using it to transport business goods, or that there are stated underwriting rules for different industries and they found out he was not compliant with those rules.
