GunPal has been started by the leadership from CalGuns.net.




from their email;

























(CALGUNS, INC.) - HEALDSBURG, CA. For Immediate Release Oct 29, 2009









Announcing GUNPAL, Inc. - A Revolutionary Way to Send Money on the Web.









Read about it on Calguns here









GUNPAL, Inc. is
a transaction-neutral online payments platform with a philanthropic
spirit,” announces Founder/CEO Ben Cannon. "It is also the first
serious competitor for PayPal Inc."



A
percentage of each transaction is donated to a selected charity at no
additional cost to the user. The initial list of organizations includes
the American Red Cross, American Cancer Society, and the Supercomputing
Disease Research Center. Users can also suggest charities for
consideration.



An
avid supporter of constitutional rights, Cannon created a
discrimination-free online payments application, starting with the
recognition of the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.



Prohibited
by PayPal's "Acceptable Use Policy", the $3 billion firearms and
accessories industry has adopted GUNPAL as the payments platform of
choice.  “Firearms can only be sold by licensed dealers. GUNPAL is more
convenient than other forms of payment as its comprehensive transaction
tracking system is secure and reliable for our audits,” says Mitchel
Chapman of WBtactical.com, a licensed firearms dealer.



An
estimated one hundred million firearm owners nationwide now have a
platform with which they can trade ammunition, scopes, and other
accessories securely and hassle-free.  As a socially responsible
company, GUNPAL directs its firearm buyers to government documentation
on current firearm laws and regulations and will provide licensed
dealer listings by buyers' zip codes in a future release. Having
dominated the firearms niche, GUNPAL is already targeting other
under-served markets with several new projects under way.



With
every line of code written in-house, most of the engineering effort has
been dedicated to fraud prevention. GUNPAL’s unique anti-fraud and
anti-phishing systems take a finer-toothed comb through customer data
for maximum privacy and security. Reduced fraud cuts operating costs
resulting in lower fees for most common transactions as compared to
PAYPAL. Cannon's first company, GeoVario, LLC, was the natural choice
for web-hosting services.



Founded
in 2004, GUNPAL is a transaction-neutral online payment system that
allows easy transfer of funds to anyone with an email address.
Privately funded, GUNPAL has revolutionized the transfer of money with
its pro-constitutional voice, unique anti-fraud approach, and
philanthropic spirit. The company is expected to expand its services
internationally in the near future.

LOL

This is the first time I've ever heard of them.  I am definitely not as trusting as many of the people in this thread.  I hope they succeed but I'll sit on the sidelines for a while and observe.

And I really hope the thread author isn't a shill and this isn't an attempt to get free advertising.  This is posted on the busiest forum of the largest gun website in the world.  That would be pretty deceitful.  And I surely wouldn't want to hand over personal financial information to any company who attempts to improve their business through deceptive practices.  I bet I'm wrong and they're completely honest but I would like to be certain.

If anyone posting in this topic (besides the guy who doesn't even know our website address) is affiliated with gunpal, please let me know.

With all the liberal cock knobs signing up lately, you are worried if he is is advertising when he has been here longer than you?
I would think even if he did have something to do with it that I would still thank him for dropping by and letting us know.
Wish him well!

Now, Dont fuck me gun pay, I signed up too.  For the convienience of paypal, but with freedoms of an American.
That said, as soon as somone comes up with gunsANDboobies pal, im going there!

One suggestion though: Hardware security tokens.

Pretty much a must for modern day PKI with all the trojans and viri floating around.

Is there any reason to think that this isn't legit?

It Looks pretty legit to me with the CEO posting  in this thread and calguns advertising their services. What's making some of you skeptical about this?

Also, the CEO already alluded to becoming a site sponsor so it's not like they're trying to screw the community.

Great suggestion - we are in process of implementing support for RSA SecureID tokens and will be making an announcement in the near future:

http://www.rsa.com/img/newsite/CallOuts/JPGS/RSA_URC_Layer23.jpg


As others have mentioned, I founded GUNPAL and we began work on it in late 2004. (around the same time I was finalizing the ground work for OLLs) It took 5 years to develop the code and the banking industry relationships to make a project like this work, and we launched to the world October 29, 2009.

Lastly, I cannot say more at this time, but we are also looking forward to announcing something that users of this site may find of interest :D

Thank you!

I had my first transaction with GUNPAL.  It worked flawlessly.  How's that for a bump?
12/27/2009 11:57:38 AM EDT
[#33]
I've used it a couple times, both to send and receive...haven't had a bit of problem with it

1) lower fees than Gheypal
2) I got my money a day faster than I would have withy gheypal
3) as long as it is a legal transaction, it's good to go

I apologize for not being able to find what I'm looking for, but perhaps gunpal can elaborate on where I'm going....

I did get an email from gunpal & in it, they were mentioning a very large security upgrade....something like signing on with verisign or the like...all I can say is that it just seems to keep getting better...now if they could only start a "gunbay" to give fleabay a run for the money

They're GTG.

I would be very happy if you can get a formal relationship with GunBroker and get GunPal included as a standard method of payment on their site.

I haven't had any transactions yet but did sign up.

I use GunPal to accept online payments for my book, Sharpshooters (1750-1900).  Ph*ck the anti-gun PayPal and their policies.
12/27/2009 12:19:03 PM EDT
[#38]
Is there a list of vendors that accept payment through Gunpal?

And good luck in your venture.



ETA:

Can someone explain how this works, and what the receiver of funds must do to collect?

From the Gunpal site:
Send Money to anyone with an email address.

You really can't just send money to anyone with an email address, they must also be registered with GunPal and have their bank account linked to them.  I have used it for a few transactions now with no complaints.
