Sons of bitches shut down my CC that I was using for fuel back in 09.  I was coming out of Montana to go back to Ga. I was not behind in payments & I had told them I was traveling.

USAA has issues, but their bank is excellent at contacting me immediately to say "is this fraud?" and approving the transaction when I say no.

I always pay cash for guns, ammo, gun stuff etc.  No tracking and I get the best price.

This. BoA has been anti-2A for a number of years going back to the FBHO days.

I will bury cash in mayonnaise jars before I'd do any business with that POS BoA.

Banks Cracking Down on Firearm Purchases

https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/271112/bofacancelsgunpurchase_jpg-1796063.JPG

Since before the end of 2020 I started gearing up my online gun-related purchases to try to "beat the reaper."

My last two gun buys were in cash.  They can't cancel that.  The problem is it's hard to order online with cash.

My thinking is, and I know this is Captain Obvious territory, get your online gun-related purchases as soon as possible, before your credit card company declines a purchase just for SJW horseshit.

Buy from Gunbroker... and only buy from dealers who accept USPS money orders... problem solved.

Suprised BOA haven't cancelled my card. They have made zero interest for the past 15 years.
3% cash back which I apply towards my balance.....figure I'm up at least 4k over the years.

Never had a purchase refused either.

They already do.

For example Wells Fargo declines any charge for lottery tickets. They say they are risky transactions.

They could use the same justification to block anything they want.

Cryptocurrency.

Cryptocurrency.

Cryptocurrency.

No middle men. Bitcoin number go up.

Gun shops and gun owners need to face reality.

Middlemen are uniting against us for political reasons.

Bitcoin let's you be your own bank. Ethereum same deal. You can also earn interest and take out collateral backed loans.

Look carefully at what happened to gab.

How many E gun business can survive if Visa stopped making things convenient and said turn it off? Paypal?

Would we go back to mailing checks?

No, get with the times. A solution is right there staring you in the face. It's slow, it's clunky, but it's free and independent of any middle men and much faster than going back in time to 1985 era retail.

Don't wait until your backs are against the wall. Start buying and selling in BTC / ETH on the EE and learn how to use it.

It's a backup that can't be removed or taken down easily.

Anyone still using BOA is a special kind of stupid. That bank has proven again and again that they can’t be trusted with your money. If you’re still with them, switch now. I’d recommend that you have two checking accounts. One of which is a local credit union.

If it's not a violation of the issuing bank's terms, then it shouldn't freeze the card.

The real lesson learned is to use a credit card, not a debit card, so you're not cut off from bank account access.

That is where I am and the CC interest rate is the lowest I can find @ 11.99. Not that it matters as I do pay it off in full, but you never know when you might need to float a balance in an emergency.

With that being said can anyone recommend a good brick and mortar nationwide bank?

That's a wonderful idea until you wake up the next day and find out your accounts receivable just dropped 25% in value over night.  Until there is a crypto that is more stable than a red headed horse owning stripper crypto is not viable for retail sales.  


I like the idea of crypto, but I would not take crypto for hard assets in order to make a living unless my margins were exorbitant.
