Bank of America and the McMillan Group

I read an interesting story this morning and then did the research to verify it is true.

I seems as though the Bank of America has told the McMillan group they no longer care to do business with them due to the fact they manufacture firearms. McMillan has been a customer for 12 years.

I have an account with them through of all people but Bass Pro. Needles to say it will be closed as soon as possible.

This sickens me and all sportsmen need to stand together on things like this.

I sent an email out about this to everyone in my address book. I encourage the same of all who read this.

Have a great evening.

Do not do business with them, thanks for story and will never do business with them

nevers have done business with BOA, never had any desire to for numerous reason

details from the nay sayers would be nice

Thank you Ted Nugguts, You will probably be seeing more of this. EB

I've never done business with BOA and never will.

Don't much care for big banks under any name for a number of reasons...use your local credit union...much better all the way around.

Please tell me you do not agree with the systematic destruction of our country???!!!

I saw all this on Monday and heard Glen Beck rant on it, yesterday also. For some reason this doesn't pass the 'smell test'. I believe there is some other underlying issue we don't know that the bank cannot discuss. McMillian can say anything as they are/were the customer.

To a larger issue, the speed and ease of the news cycle is beginning to concern me. Between facebook, twitter and the multitude of 'news sources' occurances go viral before a full 'vetting' can be achieved. Consider the Trayvon Martin case. On the first day it sure looked like Zim was guilty...but after a week and the evidence/false evidence kept coming out his guilt is surely questionable if not unprovable. This is just one example of the many that keep coming out.

I bet Ronnie Barrett could recommend a bank for them!!! Ronnie's bank backed him when he was in the R & D stage of the Barrett 50cal.

Did BOA take any buy out money a few years back? May be part of the pay back deal. :dono

I'm not saying I believe them, but Bank of America is denying this:

Bank of America's Response to the McMillan Firearms Claim - USA Carry

BOA, wasn't that a bank that failed ????????

I can't remeber who did this (Glenn Beck, maybe?), but he had an on-air poll to try and decide who was actually in charge of BoA.
The winner?

What does the McMillan Group have to gain from the alligations against BOA? I tend to believe the McMillan group at this point. It may be a weakness of mine but due to the past history of these large banks it is not hard for me to believe they would lie. I may be proven wrong and I will admit I was wrong and say my apologies. We shall see.

Are you saying that ultra large financial institutions might act in their own self interest to the detriment of their custumors ? Say it ISN`T so...

BoA took money in the bailout to the tune of $20B. Possible political influence??????

So do I. I just thought I'd throw out BoA's response.

I hear what you are saying. The McMillan Group will fall from grace with me if thois does turn out to be false. Granted the little amount of money I spend with each will not hurt either one if they loose it but it is the only recourse I have other than alerting people on the internet.

Take Care

First, I am not defending BOA over McMillian but rather trying to remain objective.

The only thing I can think of is 'saving face' publically. If word gets on the street that you bank dumped you the implied instability can have a ripple effect, consider GM and Chrysler.

BOA cannot go public with the reasoning behind what they did. IF they did McMillian could press civil charges. It could be that Ray Fox is an adamant ‘anti-gun’ and went overboard in his 'personal' actions. Only time will tell how BOA addresses this but I doubt we will ever find out. AND I like you do so little business with either to make a difference.

As to the bailout, remember GWB gave them this not BHO. And they, as all other BANKS (not AIG yet), paid back ALL their bailout including interest VERY quickly. In fact considering the interest revenue it was the best 'investment' the government has made in recent history, think Solyndra/Beacon Power/Ener1.

Hard for me to believe that any big financial institute would make any decision based on anything other than the bottom line. I guess there's an outside chance that there is someone in BOA who has principles(however misguided) but it would certainly be out of character.

100% correct.
