LEIPER'S FORK, Tenn. - A Williamson County gun dealer recently learned a credit card processing company no longer wants to do business with him.
"We go through all the hoops and all the steps and at the end of the day it's still a struggle to get the same services anybody else would," said Nick McMillan.
He owns Leiper's Fork Firearms. It is a small gun dealership McMillan runs out of his home.
"We're set up like a business, just like every other small business out there," he said.
McMillan is a has a federal firearms license and is heavily regulated by both the state and federal governments.
But McMillan received an email from Intuit Payment solutions informing him the company was no longer interested in processing his credit card sales.
"They either reviewed several accounts, or it was a company wide policy, because I wasn't the only federal firearms license dealer that got pushed out the other day," McMillan said.
In the email the company wrote "Intuit does not support the services you are providing" and then the reason stated was firearms, ammunition, gun parts and accessories sales not sold in a face-to-face environment with the credit card being swiped.

LOL!
TaxAct. Great program.
Time to bring the Eastern Sports and Outdoors show to the attention of the bigwigs at Intuit?
If you are in the military or have served in the military, you should bank with USAA.
I like it! NRA targets and takes down a large bank. Who and when do we start?
How about a class-action suit for restraint of trade; civil rights violations, etc. Better yet, a RICO suit.
guess the Rahmtards learned nothing from their Chik-fil-A
debacle.
Any person who can afford a gun on credit can get cash.
I’m sure, but it would seem that most people prefer not to.
So they don’t get their weapon because the credit card company refuses to do business with the gun dealer.
That’s what this story is about.
Thanks!
Thanks!
And any vendor who offers products over the internet who can't take credit cards is going out of business.
I think that is the idea. To put these people out pof business.
Somebody is behind this. There is a conspiracy at work here.
They are going to use the same tactics on gun owners, gun dealers, and gun manufactures that they used so successfully on smokers and tobacco companies. Each day each week, each month they will rachet up the pressure.
Not all gun dealers. I’m getting ready to purchase a long gun at walmart using a card and my last two handgun purchases were also. There are options for those that want to use credit.
