A major knives manufacturer from central California says his company was denied access to an internet payment processing service because they sell weapons online, raising questions about whether an anti-fraud program called Operation Choke Point is continuing to block legal businesses in the firearms and weapons industries from accessing basic banking services.
“It was pretty simple and straightforward,” Aaron Hogue, co-owner of Hogue Inc., said of the situation he faced with Wells Fargo bank. “They called my controller, and said, ‘Sorry, but we’re not going to be able to process any credit card transactions for the sale of weapons online.’”
“And they specifically said because you guys sell knives,” he added.
Hogue Inc. is a family-run business that sells knives, tactical gear, and firearms accessories online. The company was founded in 1968 by Hogue’s father, and has since grown to 275 employees.
Wells Fargo, the bank that denied Hogue service, confirmed it doesn’t offer payment services to retailers that sell weapons online.

If a baker can’t refuse to serve a homo, then why should a bank be allowed to refuse to serve a legitimate weapons manufacturer?
I have, excuse me, will have had a bank account with these sobs. Can anyone suggest a pro Second Amendment bank in New Jersey?
Because liberals don’t have to be logical. If they were, they would be conservatives. Think this is bad? Wait til Hillary gets elected by the Nevertrump idiots.
Hate fed reserve big banks...I only use non-federal reserve banks or credit unions...look for “SNM” under “Charter” in this list:

Hogue Inc. also makes nice grips: http://www.hogueinc.com/grips
Wells Fargo has been like a bad penny all of our lives. The hosed up the purchase of our first home nearly 50 years ago, and every time we’ve “excaped their clutches,” they manage to buy the bank we moved to, to get away from them. Yeah, back in the day, they used stage coaches, but now the “capos” that run the place wouldn’t know a stage coach from a yamulke! They’d sell gas chambers to the Germans if they could make a buck at it.
Adios Wells!!!
Operation Choke Point, V2.0. Look it up. This was supposed to end 3 years ago, but now it seems they have brought it back.
Oh my.... My Spanish Raul Spurs are going to hurt you so,...
