[quote:Anonymous Coward 11733971:MV8yMTE4MzA5XzM1NzI5MTA3XzkxNThGMkI0] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1260000:MV8yMTE4MzA5XzM1NzI4NTA5X0M5NTUxMDBB] [quote:Anonymous Coward 31757303:MV8yMTE4MzA5XzM1NzI4MzMwXzlGMjk4N0RG] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1260000:MV8yMTE4MzA5XzM1NzI3MjgxXzUyN0IxNEUz] I thought it was odd when our insurance company was asking if we had guns or jewelry (gold) that we wanted to insure.... They were asking quite a few questions that seemed scripted. We had to call several times in 2011 when there were multiple tornadoes etc..... Has anyone else experienced this? [/quote] Home owners insurance does not cover much in person property losses. Guns, jewelry, coin collections and other valuables have to be insured separately, to insure you are covered for the full value of the loss. [/quote] Thanks for this information....We have insured several homes over the years. This time the questioning seemed overly invasive. Not your run of the mill questions. We had different reps with each call asking questions that were not solicited. In all my years with this company, these questions stood out. [/quote] Any questions about firearms?? [/quote]
Original Message
From the editorial: "I felt uneasy, but I stepped out so my son wouldn't be embarrassed," she told me, saying she figured they would ask drug and alcohol questions. Sam doesn't take drugs or alcohol, she said.
Later that day, Sam told her what the doctors had asked him.
"By the way, Mom," she recalled him saying, "when you were out of the room they asked me if we had any guns in the house."
