    Hey fellas,

    It looks like McMillan is a go for their new merchant services company.
    https://www.facebook.com/McMillanGroupInternational



    McMillan Merchant Solutions is now officially in business and ready to help the firearms industry to build solid dependable financial partners by starting with merchant services.

    Anyone that needs dependable credit card processing, lower rates and the knowledge that your business is helping to strengthen the industry that we all depend on contact us by email at

    info@mcmillanmerchantsolutions<WBR>.co...m

    And, remember 1% of every penny MMS makes will be donated to a 2A/firearms industry supportive organization.

    We have done a few case studies and have found that what we suspected is true. Because there has been so few players in this market, those that are have been ruthless. Let me just say we will have no problem beating rates of standard merchant service providers. We also have solutions for smaller businesses that have been using Square as well as the Intuit users. Anyone who has been dumped recently should definitely contact us.

    There are other merchant service providers out there who are marketing to the industry. I have to give them credit, they saw a need and worked to take advantage of the situation. They aren't gun people, they are just a provider who wanted more business and is working to get it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, damn good business I say. But they aren't McMillan. They haven't been in the industry for 40 years with three generations of gun owners benefiting from the hard work and great custom service they provide. They aren't giving back to the industry to help preserve our 2 Amendment rights and the way of life we as American gun owners have believed in all of our lives.

    Lets work together and build a strong financial network to support the industry we love. Lets start here.

    Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from all of you business owners. And even if you aren't in the firearms industry, but you are a gun person and a believer in the 2nd Amendment and would like to help preserve those rights while saving some money, then you contact us as well.

    McMillan has always been a leader and a class act in this industry, it does not surprise me they would lead the way in whatever avenue they went down, this service is obviously needed to keep the firearms business vibrant! Anything with McMillan's name it has always been top shelf.
     
    That is very cool after seeing this article on The Blaze this morning:

    America’s Largest Gun Shop Abruptly Dropped by Credit Card Co. — and the Reason Will Have You Shaking Your Head in Disbelief:

    The Authorize.net email said that gun sales violated a section of the service agreement it signed with the gun shop, reportedly after Hyatt detailed its sales and products — and, you know, its name – according to the Washington Examiner.

    “We’ve never seen anything like this,” said Justin Anderson, Hyatt’s marketing director, who added it took a week and thousands of dollars to line up a “gun friendly” credit card processor for online sales.

    More from the Examiner:

    The brushoff of Hyatt’s business has sparked a national boycott effort against Authorize.net and parent company CyberSource organized by the website Grass Roots North Carolina. “It looks like the small but noisy anti-gun crowd has gotten to what must be a jelly-spined PR department at CyberSource and Authorize.Net. Either that, or leadership at these companies have simply become anti-gun all on their own,” said the website in announcing the boycott.

    Anderson suspects that the company, purchased by Visa in 2010, got cold feet dealing with a leading gun seller and he said that he’s heard of other gun stores being dropped. The company had no immediate comment.

    The sudden move comes two weeks after the Washington Navy Yard shootings which were followed by President Obama’s plea for more gun control.

    Several Visa executives contributed to the president’s re-election campaign, the Examiner notes, adding that their total was $21,780, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

    Here’s the email notice from Authorize.net:

    Dear Hyatt Gun Shop Inc,

    Authorize.Net LLC (“Authorize.Net”) has determined that the nature of your business constitutes a violation of Section 2.xiv of the Authorize.Net Acceptable Use Guidelines and Sections 3.3 and 11.3 of the Authorize.Net Service Agreement (the “Agreement”). These sections include, but are not limited to, the sale of firearms or any similar product. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 4 of the Acceptable Use Guidelines, your ability to access and use the Authorize.Net Services will be terminated on September 30, 2013.
     
    These people that JSARSZ talks about above (the ubiquitous "they" whom don't deserve a quote) should all now be exempt from security and police protection. Simply because why should they 'benefit' from the services that they prohibit?
