I'm going to wait a few days and see if this is true as reported. If it is, I will no longer do business with them. E-Bay is another California company that is not gun friendly and it has cost them millions. I wish they had some serious competition.

And BoA is denying the whole thing on thier Facebook page.
I've had Capital One deny charges from MidwayUSA and other gun related sales.
Kinda tired of having to read politics into every aspect of my life. From Bank of America to Wal Mart. It never ends.

I quit them a few years ago. Service was terrible.

According to B of A there is a person by that name working for them but he is not authorized to make decisions of that sort. Either that or the stockmaker is POed or something. Something ain't right with this and I'm not going to cancel anything until I get more info.

There is a four page thread on another forum going on about this post. Kelly McMillan felt compelled to join the forum and chime in on it. Over the past couple years I have seen similar story's about firearm related company's getting the boot from BofA.

Don't worry, dumped them awhile back, had nothing to do with the 2nd amendment. One mismanaged nightmare.

I'm going to have to check this out. I have a 2nd amendment card through them. I 've had the card about 15 or more years.
I moved from B of A years ago for many reasons, so this is will not affect any business decisions I would make. I believe that Charlie has the correct take on this, let's wait and see if this is correct. Sadly not everything we read on the Internet is totally correct.

It is true.....
I listened to Kelly McMillan on a radio interview this morning.
He said BOA gave him 6 months to move his business.
They said they don't want to do business with firearms companies.
When McMillan asked if this was politically motivated, his answer was "yes."
I dumped Bank Of America years ago when they started giving credit cards to illegal aliens.
Now I am going to refuse BOA issued cards at my business...after all, I am in a firearms related industry.

I had the same thing happen to me... execpt i was at my LGS and my card got declined, call CapOne and my account had enough money, talkd to customer service and they said that "in order to pay at that PARTICULAR store I would need to withdraw cash". Now they never said that gun shop the said that "particular store". It pissd me off enough after i got the gun that I shot my Debit card to pieces ( after i closed my account.) Just doesnt seem right people can tell you what to do with your money.

I dumped Capital One a few years back, but it had nothing to do with guns. I just don't like idiots playing with my money.

i just started a transfer of about $30k in savings from my BOA account into my credit union. 
tomorrow im going to go in and tell them to shove it As a glock armorer. i AM a firearms related business.
tomorrow im going to go in and tell them to shove it As a glock armorer. i AM a firearms related business.My brother-in-law was a "big shot" and I mean a real big shot for BoA and retired three years ago. He told me he would be very surprised if this was true since BoA has a $250 million dollar deal with Freedom Group Inc. which is one of the biggest manufactures of firearms and ammo. He also told me that there are business differences between BoA and McMillian going on now, and BoA cannot comment in the media like McMillian can. My brother-in-law is a gun nut and a life member of the NRA, and said wait for the rest of the story. He will make a call to a person in BoA who will tell him the real deal, and then he will me. I will try and post his response to this forum when I get the information. I am NOT a BoA customer, but I know they were in the news not too long ago for some new customer changes that charge you for some services. If I recall, they backed down and never made those changes...........
B of A is small fries, IF this is true. The NRA has a list of anti-2nd A companies about a 100+ long. I'm sure I've done business with some of them before, and probably still do. I need food, water and my garbage hauled away.

I have no love for BoA. In fact I filed a complaint against them with the Comptroller of the Currency (the ruling authority for National Banks, credit cards, etc). Lost in the shuffle but partial satisfaction. I still use BoA because there are so many ATMs available. I know the local folks and most of them have always been helpful, polite, and provide prompt service. I'm not yet ready to credit McMillan's claims.

Another thing to add into this discussion. BOA is the parent company of Merrill Lynch. Merrill Lynch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If you have your IRA with them, you you may want to rethink that. My guess is BOA would respond favorably when a few thousand IRA were pulled. It's no big deal to lose a credit card customer, but a 6 or 7 figure IRA, now you are talking serious business.
Just a thought.
