Don’t they have to follow Visa or what ever card type rules.

My Chase Visa has been working just fine!

This is not true.
I purchased Ammo last night and used a Chase Credit Card.
No problem.

Bought ammo (shotgun) at Bass Pro with my Chase “Freedom” Mastercard just last week.

The story is bogus.

The credit card or debit card company has no idea what you are purchasing. They only know the total charges, the company processing the transaction and nothing more. The only way they would know what you purchased is if you disputed the charge and proved it to them by using the original invoice that you had in your possession as proof.

I own a company that utilizes both credit cards and debit card transactions and believe me, I am well aware of both the rules they go by and the rules I have to go by.

There is no way they can “pick and choose” what they will finance on a single purchase because they don’t know what you purchased to start with.

Now, with that in mind, let’s say you go to a gun store and buy some ammo....or....you go to Walmart and buy some milk, crackers and ammo. Even if they knew what you were buying...which I explain they don’t...if the funded Walmart purchases but not the gun store purchases, they would open themselves up to a huge discrimination suit.

Blow this one off folks.....it’s fantasy.

I doubt this is true but am open to correction. Sounds more like therefore owner has a beef with Chase and wants to smear them a bit. I dont think the debit payment system “knows” what item in the store you’re buying.

I could so easily be wrong.

I’ve never had a purchase denied for any reason on my debit or credit cards through Chase. Not saying I’m in love with them... they have some policies that really get under my skin, but this isn’t true at all... at least in my case.

I actually did purchase 9m in December on my Chase Visa cc and had no problems. All my latest purchases have been and will continue to be in cash however.

[Drago]

I have seen a report of a merchant (”Nordic Components” out of MN) having problems with their credit card processing company (”Intuit Merchant Services” refusing firearms/ammo transactions). That merchant you mentioned needs to switch CC processing companies if he/she is having problems...here is an “NRA approved” one: http://www.gopai.com NRA Business Alliance: http://www.nraba.org/benefits.aspx

I just used my Chase card last week on a handgun purchase and didn’t have any problems.

[American Infidel]

I used my Chase Visa card at gun store last Saturday (2/23) to pay for my NICS check and the transfer fee (purchased the firearm from an out-of-state dealer and had it transferred to a local FFL). I also used the same Chase Visa card to purchase the firearm itself about 3-4 weeks ago. No issues as described in the post.

I’ve used my Chase card a dozen times in 2013 for ammo purchases and range time.

It’s a hoax. You can use it.

[SgtHooper]

No problems here, and I have spent in excess of 10k on such items in the last year.
