Of the Mount-fucking-Everest pile of reasons to switch from national, too-big-to-fail banks to community banks/CU, you had to find the one firearm related excuse. My hat's off to you sir, your consistency is truly legendary.

And hey, if this gets more people out of BoA/Chase/Huntington/Citi/et al, then more power to y'all.

Wait. Its ok for the bank to not do business because of a firearm related issue, but for an individual customer to not do business with thethe bank due to a firearm issue you have a problem with?

Not at all. For the last few years we (and by we I mean primarily but not exclusively Occupy Wall Street) have been SCREAMING that large banks are literally bleeding you (and by you I mean both individuals and small business, but mainly individuals) dry with fees, charges, unnecessary overdrafts, shady processing algorithms, the list goes on and on. All the while, we've been pointing towards an entire market of smaller banks without these fees/charges, who actually give a shit about their customers, some even engage in profit-sharing, offer better rates, and are overall a better experience both on you as a consumer and the local bank.

Our response from the conservative (I hate to lump everyone together like this, but let's call a spade a spade here) crowd? Paraphrased, I think it went something like "goddamn socialist hippies!"

Now that a large national bank has terminated dealings with a firearms affiliated business, the response from that crowd (just judging from the comments of the article) is now something like OMFG WHAT THE FUCKITY FUCK!1!!1111!!

Personally, if it were up to me, Brian Moynihan (CEO of BoA) can eat a super-sized bag of dicks while surrendering half of his profits to the SEC on trading and banking violations on top of all the other bullshit that went down in 2008/09, and that goes double for Citi, Goldman, and all the rest of the bigun's. I merely find it interesting that the people that are blowing up won't move their bank accounts when it's in their own economic self-interest to do so, yet when someone even peripherally touches on their guns, all hell seems to break loose.

So instead of complaining why not be happy that another reason has been found that appeals to another group of people?

I'm going to take this as a complement. I'm consistent because I believe in what I post about.

BoA has my mortgage, local credit union has all of my business for everything else (checking, savings, auto loan, etc...). I went with who could give me the best fixed rate at the time...BoA was it. So BoA doesn't support guns...big deal, they are just a bank. Both of the hospitals I work for don't allow guns anywhere near the buiding...should I quit my job??

Yes, and stop giving business to those hospitals, if you are sick or injured, you should go to a local gun friendly establishment and ask for their medical treatment...:D

I thought it was illegal to bring a.gun into a bar in ohio unless its a bar/grill? I also thought it was illegal to carry if you have been drinking? Not saying ur drinking, as you just said EAT. Am I incorrect? I mean obviously if you dont flash it and no one is the wiser no one gives a fuck and its not a big deal, but I mean if someone notices a gun on someone that has been drinking and decides to call the cops cant they lose their cwc and/or the gun and get fined/jailed?

my best friend carries his piece on him all the time, even when he is drinking. Im very worried that he is gunna get himself in alot of trouble doing that shit, but honestly he.dont.give a.fuck. And 1/2 the time he flashes his gun when he gets up, on the.upside though.he.drinks at a private bar so no one there gives 2 shits about gun laws, drinking age, weed and other unlawful acts.
