It varies state by state as some states ban breed discrimination by law. Some of these laws are more recent developments. But in one example, Farmers was widely reported to drop coverage for pit bulls in California back in 2013:

I know what the woman told me when i signed the papers. I should have never responded. Lesson learned.

Seems friendly enough. lol.

Son had a female Rhodesian Ridgeback . Smart dog that loved humans. Killed any other animal it could get its jaws on. Including a lot of dogs.

I was an independent insurance agent for over 50 years. I represented 16 different companies. None of them would insure anyone owning a pitbull.

I had a friend who was a State Farm agent. They insured pitbulls with a surcharge. But, he said he didn't think they would be continuing that much longer, as they had had some seriously bad dog bite claims with pitbulls.

Years ago, we had this discussion regarding pitbulls. I remember there was a person from one of the southern states who owned several pitbulls for many years. He said as some on here have also said, that pitbulls are one of the best hog dogs there are. That's what he had them for. But, he said they are never to be trusted, especially around children.

I can give examples of many cases where a pitbull mauled or killed someone. Here's one that happened in Minneapolis couple years ago: A man who owned a pitbull had a 3 year old son. The dog had always been playful with the kid. The man stepped outside to have a smoke. He heard a ruckus in the house. He rushed in to find the dog had his 3 year old son by the throat. The poor kid was dead before the ambulance got there. The man maintained pitbulls always get a bad rap cause his experience with his was that of a gentle dog.

I got a nice insurance check because of a pit bull once. Insurance company told me they didnt know they had a pit or they wouldn't have covered them. I made sure the problem wouldn't happen again and the sheriff deputy told me thank you. He said they are nothing but a problem for him.
Keith i cant own a pet skunk without jumping through a bunch of paper work to get a special license, dont tell me outlawing pits is a slippery slope to losing our 2nd amendment. It wouldn't be any different than me not being able to own a tiger.

Needs to get rid of the dog and use the what he is holding it by as a belt!

For all the people who think Pit bull are so great, just wait until you have an encounter with one!

The #1 reason I carry even when I don't expect to encounter people.

37 years as a liability insurance adjuster, I can tell you that a pit bull will get your policy cancelled as quick as anything. And if you end up in a lawsuit due to a dog bite, good luck trying to convince a jury "but he's a good dog".

Being put in jail or fined doesn't raise people from the dead and does very little for their loved ones.

People are wrong when they blame a firearm of any kind when someone murders another human being. The firearm didn't do the killing. It was the idiot who fired the weapon.
A person who owns a pitbull is like the person who fired the gun. It's not necessarily the dog's fault as it's in a pitbull's nature to become aggressive. I've always felt if you own a pitbull knowing their history and it kills or maims someone you should be held criminally liable same as the person who fires a gun and murders someone.

A guy from our church was visiting his son in TX. It was the last day of his visit. He went out to get the mail from his son's mailbox. He was attacked by 3 pitbulls. He said they would have killed him, but a passerby in a truck jumped out with a baseball bat and was able to beat the dogs off of him long enough to get him in his truck and to a hospital. He lost most of the muscles on his forearm and thigh. He was hospitalized for nearly month. He now walks with the assistance of a walker. The owner of the pitbulls who lived about a half mile down the road from his son's, had no insurance (big surprise). The dogs were put down. He doesn't know if the guy was ever arrested or held responsible.

Agreed. How many more people need to be maimed or worse because of these animals? They need to be made extinct ASAP.

And don't give me that "It all depends on how they are raised" BS either. It's total nonsense.
