There are lots of ways to profile you. I suppose credit cards are one of them. I watch NCIS too. 
I primarily use debit cards for purchases over $50. I carry a fair amount of cash on me too. Yes, sometimes $1000, but it is primarily a business thing.

Cash only for anything gun related. I only buy used guns.
Data mining is real. Feed the beast what you want it to know. I only buy with plastic online and get knitting supplies and cookbooks and the like. You should see my junk mail, like a 90 yr old woman lives here.
By not using plastic much my credit is fantastic and I have no debt!
Laugh at my tinfoil hat if you wish but its paid for.

I've been working for gun stores for about six years now, and I've heard every reason in the book for not using credit cards for a gun purchase. Your friend's story is one of the many. A lot of people also think the government will never find out they own guns if they pay in cash. Which I never really understood, but I guess some people don't get how the whole process works unless someone walks them through it. Where do you think the 4473 eventually goes?
I try to pay very little of anything on credit. Usually just gas if I can get away with it, and a few things that require a credit card to be taken out every month (Aflac, my gym membership, etc.). But I only do that because it keeps me out of financial trouble. You lose a lot of temptations when you have to handle the cash right there and not push it off to worry over later. And I don't even own a debit card.
But ya know, my tin foil hat did blow off some time ago...

OTOH, if the CC company profiles a lot of customers as buying guns and ammo, they may hesitate to cut off a chunk of their business. It's not not like we're gonna quit buying if we can't put it on our VISA card. They just lose the charge business.
