Many GEICO auto & home insurance customers are canceling their GEICO policies over the latest Internet buzz about GEICO being against gun owners and the gun industry. This negative publicity arose when a cancellation letter was posted online, for an auto insurance customer being canceled by GEICO, because their vehicle is used in conjunction with a company that deals in the weapons industry.
