Tactical Firearms is appealing to the public for help fighting what it claims is a politically motivated problem with its bank.

The Katy, Texas, gun store has made a national name for itself by posting snarky political signs – mostly opposing liberal gun-grabbers and Obama – on its outdoor marquee.

BizPac Review has reported on several of the good-humored signs in the past, but it seems there’s not a lot to laugh about these days, according to the company’s web site and newsletter. The lengthy plea claims that the bank has called in on a loan that could put the store out of business

Sounds as if this might be a case for filing RICO actions against the bank and the Feds.

the bank’s excuse to us for calling in the loan is because the “government does not support loans to the gun, alcohol, or hotel industries” and the banks get heavily audited.

Or perhaps the guarantor bailed on them?

"Sadly, because Steven did not sign the loan refinance that he had previously agreed to, the short term loan for the land has now matured. By default, our primary business loan is now in jeopardy"

If I had a customer that pulled this stunt with me because he wasn't able to get along with a (former) business partner, I'd refuse to give him the time of day.
