viewtopic.php?f=129&t=82800&hilit=insurance

To make a long story short......BULL!
It is not always a manufactured excuse. My mother is president of a credit union. Their insurance rates were going to go up if they didn't put up signs. She knew she had people carrying in the credit union all the time, and she didn't care. Neither did the board. She knows if she just wanted to stop open carry she only needed a 30.07 sign, so it isn't ignorance. It is purely a financial decision. I don't know about every place, but I do know about one. She was going to get her chl until she found out she could carry in her car without it, and that was all she wanted to do. My stepdad carried everywhere he went, and I carry everywhere I go. So she isn't opposed to carrying.
I need conclusive proof that this is happening. Please ask your mother if she will talk to me about this issue. Also, having the name of the insurance company and any correspondence, emails, etc. where she was told they credit union would be "rated" if no signs were posted will be quite valuable.

This is something we can address, but as yet we have not a shred of evidence it's happening. I'm not saying your Mom is not telling the truth; I'm saying we don't have any proof.

I sent a letter similar to the one authored by "miljet" in his post titled "One Sign at a Time" dated March 1, 2016. The following day I received a reply from the dealership (see below). Has anyone else heard a similar reasoning for posting both signs at a business?

"Thanks for your email and I totally agree with you as I too have my CHL.

Unfortunately, since the open carry law was passed, our insurance companies have forced us to put both signs up or pay a big premium on our already astronomical insurance bill. They don’t want the extra liability and have forced this upon us.

I continue to argue our point and hope to one day be removing the concealed handgun sign. Please consider this when you see both signs hanging in front of stores. It is not necessarily the opinion of the owner, but are being forced due to small businesses not being able to afford higher insurance rates.

Thanks for your time and stay tuned!"
If you don't mind, please email him/her again and ask if they would agree to talk to me about this and the specific insurance company? If so, please PM a contact name and phone number. I'm working on something now and this would be helpful.

Thanks,
Chas.
