this seems to say it all

If you owned a business that continually screwed over its customers, you would not want them to be armed either I guess.

Re: Bank of America to McMillan, we don't want you

Calling themselves "Bank of America" seems hypocritical if they are against guns but what can you expect from a company that foreclosed on someone that didn't even have a mortgage.

Re: Bank of America to McMillan, we don't want you

Wow.... I quit using them about 5 years ago due to multiple fees that made no sense. The last year I got paperwor in the mail saying I am 6 months behind on my account and they have been charging me overdraft fees of $125 every month.. SO pretty much I had a $750 bill sitting there to pay off. Safe to say I told them to F off, and had a nice little chat with the bank manager. They deleted my account and cancelled all the overdraft fees. I will NEVER do any business with them ever again.

BofA can suck it!

Really surprised though considering the firearms buisness is one the strongest in these times...and with elections coming up, prices/demand will both sky rocket.

My family and I cannot stand BofA for many other reasons. This is only justification for despising them further. Thank you!

Well, needless to say we no longer accept credit cards issued by BofA any more so any of our customers who bank with BofA or have credit cards issued by them might remember what "YAHOO" means.

Truth be told the firearms industry doesn't produce a lot of money. in 2009 the 600 some-odd manufactuerers of firearms and parts shipped 3B in inventory, not profit. Colt posted 16 someodd million in revenue in 2010. By comparison last year Exxon posted 30B in profits, Apple 14B, Coke 11.8, Disney 3.9, and Home Depot 3.3...just in profits. The truth is that in the grand scheme of things the firearms industry brings in less money than one would think.
It's a totally bag of douchery, but then again BofA lost 2.2B last year. Smart decisions aren't really part of thier MO lately.

Re: Bank of America to McMillan, we don't want you

I cant stand Bof A. Years ago, I had a account with them and then closed it due to there rediculous fees and BS charges. My EX wife, wrote a bad check on the account that I closed. After a lenghty dispute and investigation the truth came out and they realised it wasnt me that wrote it. However the fuckers Black flagged me. So needless to say, i havent used them in years. BofA can suck a fat one!

Re: Bank of America to McMillan, we don't want you

I just applied for a cabela's card to replace my BoA bass pro. I know Cabela's isn't the best replacement but since my local Bass Pro Shops have ridiculous gun/reloading restrictions (they're anti-50BMG), now charge TAX on online orders, and now BoA is anti gun, I can't wait for my Cabela's card to come in so I can tell them to shove it!

Never delt with them, never will. Anyone who charges you to use your own money deserves to go belly up. The damn problem is if they were about to the damn government would bail them out.
 
#15
Re: Bank of America to McMillan, we don't want you

I quit BofA years ago because of their BS and when I made it a point to say I loudly that I was closing my account there were several others in line doing the same thing. I will make it a point to share this latest info with family and friends.

Re: Bank of America to McMillan, we don't want you

There's a great article about BofA in the new Rolling Stone. I read it at the newsstand because I would never buy Rolling Stone but the article caught my attention. I have some insider information so I know it's not all exactly accurate but it is pretty close. Worth a read if you need a reminder how fucked up our government is.

I had my own run in with BofA years ago. They had a grand scheme of not crediting their credit card payments to the accounts proptly so they could charge everyone a late fee. After a few months of dealing with this bullshit, I got the great idea to go into the local branch to make my payments in person. They still posted 30 days after I made the payment in person at the local branch. They got their balls crushed for that one in a class action suit. My share of the $400M payout was like a $1.43. Woo-hoo! I think the breakdown of the fine showed about 80% went to the lawyers.

To bad Mcmillan is not a minority owned company, they could file a discrimination suit and retire with the settlement. Suit could be justified on race and not on what is manufactured, I bet BOA would love to keep you as a customer if that was the case.

Re: Bank of America to McMillan, we don't want you

Well that was stupid. City did the same thing, paid them off and canceled them. BOA was paid off and canceled.

BTW BOA is being thrown out of WV. Bad business practices from what we were told.

Re: Bank of America to McMillan, we don't want you

Just called and canceled my BOA visa. When asked why I told them that their anti firearm stance in business is why and sited McMillan specifically.

From FaceBook







McMillan Group International


McMillan Fiberglass Stocks, McMillan Firearms Manufacturing, McMillan Group International have been collectively banking with Bank of America for 12 years. Today Mr. Ray Fox, Senior Vice President, Marlet Manager, Business Banking, Global Commercial Banking came to my office. He scheduled the meeting as an “account analysis” meeting in order to evaluate the two lines of credit we have with them. He spent 5 minutes talking about how McMillan has changed in the last 5 years and have become more of a firearms manufacturer than a supplier of accessories.
At this point I interrupted him and asked “Can I possibly save you some time so that you don’t waste your breath? What you are going to tell me is that because we are in the firearms manufacturing business you no longer want my business.”
“That is correct” he says.
I replied “That is okay, we will move our accounts as soon as possible. We can find a 2nd Amendment friendly bank that will be glad to have our business. You won’t mind if I tell the NRA, SCI and everyone one I know that BofA is not firearms industry friendly?”
“You have to do what you must” he said.
“So you are telling me this is a politically motivated decision, is that right?”
Mr Fox confirmed that it was. At which point I told him that the meeting was over and there was nothing let for him to say.

I think it is import for all Americans who believe in and support our 2nd amendment right to keep and bare arms should know when a business does not support these rights. What you do with that knowledge is up to you. When I don’t agree with a business’ political position I can not in good conscience support them. We will soon no longer be accepting Bank of America credit cards as payment for our products.

Good for you Rob. More people need to stand up to these shit head companys, it's time to stop them from enforcing there rules and start playing by our rules.

Re: Bank of America to McMillan, we don't want you

Absolute Bullshit!!


Screw them, I am done with them too. When I get back to base in the morning I am changing my direct deposit. I have had that account for 25 years, they bought out the bank I started my first account with.

Done deal.
Thanks for the heads up.

I will also send an e mail to them stating that this news has caused me to immeadiately cancel my accounts as well.

Re: Bank of America to McMillan, we don't want you

Just canceled my CC with them as well. When they asked my reason for cancelling, I told them it was because of what they did to the McMillan companies, and that it acknowledged that they didn't believe in the 2nd amendment.

Re: Bank of America to McMillan, we don't want you

Bank of America took a lot of money in the bailouts. I have always wondered what strings were attached to those bailouts.

Now I wonder if other bailed-out banks are making politically motivated moves to cancel certain non-politically correct accounts.

We are truly turning the corner to a fascist system. This sounds much like the Chrysler dealerships that were picked to close based on the owner's political affiliation during the government ordered bankruptcy re-organization.

Re: Bank of America to McMillan, we don't want you

BoA is Rothschild money and if you think the other major bank families are any more pro 2A you're mistaken. They all feel this way. JPMorgan, Chase, Citigroup, all of em. Yeah yeah I know tinfoil hat yada yada yada..People that are shocked by this haven't been paying attention. Glad McM went so public and so many people are reacting. It's a good start. Sparks can turn into fires.

Re: Bank of America to McMillan, we don't want you

Just a note to all of those closing accounts, make sure you get proof of closing your account so when they reopen your account down the road without your permission you can fight the charges the will try and enforce on their late charges / account fees.
 
#41
Re: Bank of America to McMillan, we don't want you

We moved away from BofA long time ago... I hated that shit bank. unfortunately my car is still through them.

we use USAA and TD Bank now. much much happier.

Cabelas charges tax for online orders aswell, if they have a store in your state.

I have had my business account with BofA for 8+ years and have been using their merchant processing service. Both of those will change this week to a local CU. I won't tolerate this.

Almost makes me wish I had a BofA account to do the same, but USAA and Navy Fed are too damn good to me.

Re: Bank of America to McMillan, we don't want you

BOA has been shitty for a long time. At one of their locations in Jacksonville, FL they had a banner that said "No ID Required" plus some other shit in spanish. Hopefully enough people will close out their accounts with them and they'll go out of bussiness, oops I forgot they are too big to fail

I've used USAA for everything for quite awhile and have never had a problem dealing with them. Even when snow blew in through our house and collapsed the ceilings, and when I ripped a gash all the way down the passenger side of my Discovery. Their banking options are better now than ever since they've started opening up the financial centers. Care to expand on your bad experience with thier homeowners insurance, and what that has to do with their Banking? I'm willing to bet there are few people on here who would be interested to hear about it. Maybe start up a thread do it doesn't derail this one.
