Bankers sometimes I think that is spelt wrong and first letter shoud have come from other end of alphabet
It seems the owners of smaller gun shops and gunsmithing type businesses are being targeted by these leeches....not only are banks refusing to lend any money for purchase or running of any business having anything to do with guns..but it seems VISA has pulled pin on some of them aswell...reason given "we dont deal with gun shops"
I know NZ is only a little ol country at bottom of the globe but man this makes me mad
has your fellas NRA heard of this and has any pushback been proposed??? I would imagine if they told members to cut up visa cards and deal with someone else it would hurt the bankers involved in pockets where it seems is the only place they care about.

The only problem I have with this is that if I discontinue doing business with all those companies that are anti- gun...The only person I have left to do business with would be me.

Besides I owe VISA too much to back out now.

Other than that...I'm on your (Elvis) side.

I live in a Pro-gun State, County and Town. Even my bank doesn't care if I carry. At present, all is good.

I’m hearing ya Bushy…and I support Elvis 110% as well.

It looks like visa has backed down.... If I get anymore details I will share. It was gun works in Christchurch a great company to deal with so it reved me up to see them being dicked around. They found green stock for me when I ordered the howa .270, fitted one of their awesome suppressors and shipped it down to me asap via third party store. They are my go-to place for components and just really nice people.

Oftentimes it's not VISA or MasterCard directly making these rules up. It's the payment processors and/or the banks who issue the cards.

It also occurs with alcohol, tobacco and other age restricted related sales.
