Roofer Video Gone Viral.

Kind of two ways that thing can be taken.

One is a humorous spoof like in all these modern action movies you see now. I can imagine how in my old drinking days I would have thought that was hilarious.

On the other hand, if the guy is truly serious, it's little boy porn. The cute little short shorts with the posing and preening, big pecs blazing gun... what comes to mind is a fourteen to sixteen year old's wet dream. Video games. Goofy stuff like that. If it aint funny then it's just dumb.

Freedom, to me, means guys like that are living happily in somebody else's neighborhood, not mine.

But I've never liked guys who strut. I find strutters repulsive and tiresome. Has little or nothing to do with the second amendment when you get right down to it.

An awful lot of ignorance about the issue there, Alba.

1. In Texas at least, it is against the law for me to take a single tiny sip of alcohol while carrying. The amount allowed: ZERO! If I do, my license is taken away forever. 2. AR-15's are not "assault" weapons. The AR stands for Armalite Rifle, the original mfg. 3. Assault weapons are fully-automatic, AR-15's are semi-automatic exactly like most hunting rifles. To get a fully-automatic rifle s extremely difficult and prices start at around $15,000. It requiers a $200 tax stamp with a very in-depth background check by ATF and several months. It can only be done through a Class III gun dealer. I have a Federal Firearms License to buy/sell guns, and even I can't buy an automatic weapon without all the hoop. 4. A friend of mine is a very gifted attorney who has argued cases with the Supreme Court. He has told me that it is NOT insurance fraud to offer marketing incentives that are not different than what others offer. Car dealerships offer free AR's all the time. He also said it is completely legal do this, as an example:

Car dealership got paid $250,000 for hail damage to their roof. Deductible is $25,000. Roofer agrees to do the roof for the $250,000 and to buy a $50,000 car from the the dealership.

He says that, so long as the roofer's price wasn't artificial raised in order to offer the incentive, completely legal.

The bigger issue is how roofers have let the insurance industry brainwash them into thinking that deductibles are somehow magic or sacred. it is ONLY unethical to cover them because it is illegal. If you can find a legal workaround, there is nothing unethical about it. It is a construct of the insurance industry intended to hamstring roofers and enhance profits. Period!

Amen to guns .there can't be anything safer for the community than men shooting guns or roaming around with loaded assault rifles after they have been drinking whiskey and beer .not to mention that offering perks which are the equivalent of cash backs is border line illegal because the policy holders aren't suppose to profit from the insurance claims.

Ironically, Alba, guns won and continue to defend your right to type that. Kinda like when LEOs defend even people who hate LEOs!

It's ok though, there are enough of us who grasp that and will never give up the Second Amendment, and thus those too lazy to learn about it will still be protected by it.

Gun promotion is an act of patriotism .we just don't have enough guns in this country .the roofing business will bloom if roofing companies advertise machine guns mounted on their pick up trucks.

Yeah he went further than I'd go, but then again, nobody wants to see me with my shirt off.

He is in the area where I grew up. My what residential roofing has become. It's a sad situation. Nothing like promoting your company in your underwear while drinking beer and whiskey to make you look good eh? :dry:

You say he was on Fox News? He might end up on it again after a customer gets angry about a warranty issue he won't attend to and uses their new AR-15 to settle the score. :laugh:
