One snowflake doesn't make a blizzard. Biginge. If there were one person making a wrong decision at one BoA branch, that in itself implies nothing about BoA's corporate policies. That's the whole point. If you're willing to blame the whole company for what you assume to be true, I think that's unfair. As BoA also states, they are not free to disclose even the identity of the "customer" in question, nevermind whatever particulars there might be about the circumstances and actions surrounding the anti 2nd amendment claim, which I see is very likely an unwarranted exaggeration. Cowarts's post proves that. Whereas the customer—any customer— has no such restriction. Somebody would have to sue somebody else to bring all the facts to light here.

Therefore, nothing proven. Simple as that. However, if I were in your position, I'd probably back my friend just out of loyalty. After all, BoA is only a bank. The downside here is that encouraging widespread disfavor toward BoA may well harm an organization that demonstrably supports 2nd Amendment Rights, including your own.

Snopes even has an entry, "Undetermined".

I had never heard of McMillan Enterprises in my life before last Wednesday. Where you got he is my friend is beyond me. Had we taken a stand earlier we may not be "pushing 1 for English" today? If BOA cannot hold their own in a damage control situation by a single employee perhaps they could use your help. There was no mention of 2 nd amendment in the damage control letter from Cowarts post.. Only some painted with a broad brush statement about standing behind our military,reservist, and veterans. After our verbal sparring on this issue I almost feel a twinge of sorrow for poor little BoA being picked on by that bully Mcmillan and several of us here. I would be proud to call him friend, but I have never had the pleasure of his acquaintance. Only the best to you Sir. You may have the last word on this subject should you desire. I would suggest that BoA make a clear and concise statement on their 2nd amendment position. Now there is an idea whose time has come.

Regards

Bill

My mistake, I got you confused with another poster. My apologies.

Cowart's post indicated BoA doing business with NRA which pretty solidly counters the anti 2nd Amendment allegation. BoA can't make a definitive statement about their customer according to their posts..
