I recently applied for a merchant account (credit card processing) for my new gun store with Intuit...the makers of Quickbooks accounting software and many other business products.
My merchant account was denied. Here is the email I received in explaining the denial of my merchant account:
They don't support the "products and services" I offer? I sell guns. I sell gun stuff...and ammunition. The people I sell to subject themselves to state and federal background checks to pursue a hobby that is protected by the Constitution. My business is licensed by the federal government. But Intuit doesn't support my products and services.
Now, I thought for a moment they meant they somehow couldn't physically support the activity I was trying to conduct. But that can't be it because when a credit card is swiped for a gun purchase it's no different than the credit card transaction that's conducted when one buys a pair of shoes.
No...Intuit doesn't support guns and gun stuff. It's very clear because they asked in the application what products I would be offering for sale.
I hope you consider this the next time you think about buying an Intuit/QuickBooks product.
Intuit/QuickBooks is an anti-gun, anti-freedom, anti-Constitution and anti-American company. And that's ironic because I've been in the gun business for 10 years and they've never had a problem accepting my money for other products and services I've purchased that supported that gun business.
