Possible Credit Card Codes for Firearm Purchases

[Bob Willman]

I signed into the accounts for credit cards that I hold. After finding the "Contact Us" option, I asked if they planned to implement the proposed codes for firearm purchases. For one card I did a keyboard chat session about the issue with one of their reps. Whether my actions will have any impact I do not know, but if all of us were to do the same, maybe. At least they know that I am watching.

Simple solution - Don't use credit cards to buy anything gun related.
This has been covered frequently here on THR.

Most everything I buy, is bought using plastic. Been that way for a coupla decades. Not just with firearms, but everything. Generally have very little if any cash in my pocket. Many times I buy guns/ammo/accessories when I come across them at a price I can't refuse. Without plastic, it would be a missed opportunity. Since I get money back for every purchase I make(even those gun related), it's better than cash, especially with large purchases. I have yet had a credit card company refuse to have the card honored because the sale was "gun related". Maybe if and when I do, I might change my mind.

I order a lot from Cabela's. I use Sezzle. I wonder how they handle fire arm related purchases.

I don't have any credit cards. Life is pretty simple without them.

I dont recall using a card before, but I surely won't use a one now.

I'm pretty sure they already exist since bank of America was able to track a person who made a "gun purchase" in 1999 to a Washington DC hotel on January 5, 2020 and then volunteered that info to the FBI according to congressional testimony.

We have beat this horse to death. While contacting the CC companies is not a terrible idea, I can promise they do not care at all what we say or think.
