LEIPER'S FORK, Tenn. - A Williamson County gun dealer recently learned a credit card processing company no longer wants to do business with him.
"We go through all the hoops and all the steps and at the end of the day it's still a struggle to get the same services anybody else would," said Nick McMillan.
He owns Leiper's Fork Firearms. It is a small gun dealership McMillan runs out of his home.
"We're set up like a business, just like every other small business out there," he said.
McMillan is a has a federal firearms license and is heavily regulated by both the state and federal governments.
But McMillan received an email from Intuit Payment solutions informing him the company was no longer interested in processing his credit card sales.
"They either reviewed several accounts, or it was a company wide policy, because I wasn't the only federal firearms license dealer that got pushed out the other day," McMillan said.
In the email the company wrote "Intuit does not support the services you are providing" and then the reason stated was firearms, ammunition, gun parts and accessories sales not sold in a face-to-face environment with the credit card being swiped.

I use Taxcut from HR Block, works well so far.
If gun dealers could somehow get together and start a campaign encouraging ALL THEIR CUSTOMERS to Close ALL bank Accounts with ANY TBTF Bank and go with a Local Credit Union, the Game would be on.
I’m sure the dealers would prefer that, but it isn’t realistic.
Maybe the NRA should start promoting boycotts on those companies that engage in such behavior. NRA has a rather large membership!...
I was just thinking this myself earlier today. They need to to do it.
I also believe the feds are trying to prompt some sort of violent reaction; it's the Reichstag fire they need.
Who said it had to be in the US....? Switzerland might be a good place for it....
Thanks!
TaxAct, cheaper and just as easy to use. I've been using them for about 8 years.
Taxcut from HR Block
Have they stopped doing business with all the retailers who sell violent movies and video games?
It would appear that - much like the threatened White male - gun owners are the new ni**ers.
Ok, maybe in some 3rd-world country that needs an influx of cash.... Nigeria :P
NRA National Credit Union
My Visa card is issued by my credit union, good anywhere in the world.
Was considering a switch to Quicken from Microsoft Money 2007. Looks like I’m sticking with old reliable.
The NRA has a special member benefits section set up just for this type of situation. They offer NRA member stores discounted credit card processing services and also Gun store insurance services. Pass this on to your local gun shop owner they may need it.

Death by 1000 cuts.
Every day we are hearing of something new.
They will keep pushing and pushing...
They know they have ONLY 4 years to finish us off
I understand freedom of association,and business decisions but what this is coming right down to is outright discrimination! These banks and service providers could never logically be included in any lawsuit over a wrongful death. So how is this discrimination against those in the firearms trade any different than excluding Blacks, or Asians or Hispanics or someone of a certain religion? We need a financial institution to stand tall, and then everyone sink these traitors by moving their money out! Let them be happy with liberal customers only.
