Discover Card now Tracking Firearm and Ammo Purchases

[Muddyboots]

So here we go. Cash is now king going forward. Let's hope the 24 state AG's are successful against this unconstitutional program.

I've had 2 LGS tell me they will continue to use different codes.

The whole purpose is to identify improper purchases. So what's the defined criteria that will be used? If it goes bang?

Use AFT ( automatic fund transfer ) bank account to bank account. Almost instant, only you track your purchase, paper trail from your bank.

I knew there was some reason I still carry cash and only one CC mostly for gas purchases.
Through the years, I have caught all kinds of flak for pulling out cash, but then, I am usually armed also.

Still use cash for gunsmith and most gun purchases. Don't have a Discover card and now won't get one. I use Visa and Mastercard for shop purchases and use points for online reloading supplies.

So they all are now doing this: Discover, VISA, MASTERCARD and AMEX.

If your state is not one that taking them to court and likely ending up in Supreme Court where I believe will be overturned.

I don't even carry my cell phone when I shop gun stores.

Convinience has a price. It just might be more than the transaction fee...

Full paranoia means taking a vehicle that is too old for direct connect to mfg. Plus pull fuse on Sirius radio to be all dark.

Not there yet but getting closer.

This came out in Sept last year-- then I heard that the cc companies changed their minds when they got letters from 23 state attorney generals threateninglegal action of they went forward with this .

Are they still going through with the "MCC coding" of guns/ammo?

Oh man. I'd need to upgrade a fair bit for vehicle connectivity. ...


Just packed home another one this am in a truck that's a mechanical 12 valve... it has its place. Granted 300 miles in it is like doing 3 rounds with Floyd Mayweather doing highly technical jabs on the kidneys and back... but hey no tracking.

They go hand in hand.
