Your speculation about pricing gun ownership out of existence seems like a likely scenario. That would allow the industry to continue by focusing just on the high end of the market.
I meant a separate firearms insurance. Like what NRA gives but with higher coverage.
I think you have reason to be suspicious. FFL's are pretty close-mouthed about their contacts with the BATF, but I've come across enough anecdotal accounts of agents demanding records during audits and making copies of same. Who knows where those copies go and how long they're kept?
State Farm does not require any of that. I gave them a very general list of firearms, only make and model, what I wanted each one insured for, no pictures, no serial numbers. They didnt even require a list, but it made it easier to total up the value I wanted insured.
Dr. Lott has also been busted more than once for his flawed methodology.
Well, good, but I'd still suggest getting out your magnifying glass and carefully reading the mice type in your policy, because what your agent tells you and what the company actually does when presented with a claim can be two very different things. I'm not accusing your agent of deception, it may just be a case that this is a type of loss they've never handled before and they simply don't know. Remember, though, when push comes to shove, they are the company's agent to you, they are not your agent to the company.
Thanks.
....well, except for reloaders and blackpowder enthusiasts ....
Or primers and percussion caps are unavailable also. Probably would OK Flintlocks.
Parse Harris' gun proposals carefully (from when she was running in the primaries). It all boiled down to a huge nothing, designed to appear significant to the antigun activist base, but in reality not doing much. Harris is above all an opportunist. She blows with the prevailing winds. I don't expect any real initiatives coming from that direction.
Great analysis and agreed, except I differ in one respect: she blows with the prevailing campaign money supply. Which in this case is Michael Bloomberg. Being from Virginia, I'm sure you're well aware of his political goals.
Well, I'm not onboard with that philosophy. As someone noted earlier, getting legislation passed is far easier than getter laws repealed. Two or four years, or more, of waiting and trying to un-f*** bad laws or regulations does not work for me. Better to be pro-active, and not let this happen.
Once again, underestimating the real intent or determination of the anti-gun folks has bitten us in the rear too many times. I live in Washington, and that's precisely how it happened on the state level; it most assuredly can happen on a nation level.
Kleck used some of the same flawed methodologies, and Lott used Kleck's stats for his own research. One such problem is the massive inflation of what constitutes a defensive gun usage, specifically that merely brandishing the weapon counts as using it. Kleck and Gertz vastly overestimated the number of Defensive Gun Uses and have been called out on it more than once. However, Gary Kleck has actual research and published his methodology for others to evaluate. He isn't afraid of defending his methodology because he put the work in.
Career politicians tailor their message to their intended audience. She's on the national stage now. BTW, unlike Swalwell and O'Rourke, she never said she would take our guns. Check the record.
