Judge Andrew Napolitano on Tuesday told FOX Business that credit card processor Intuit is within its rights to shut down payments on gun purchases.
A number of businesses were recently interrupted, without warning, after the company refused to process orders of gun-related sales, according to the New York Post. The paper also reports that Intuit did not return several requests for comment.
Napolitano said, generally, customers can’t be refused due to race, age, gender or sexual orientation but can be rejected if they dislike their business.
“They can choose their customers, their clients unless that choice is based upon some protected aspects,” Napolitano told Stuart Varney on “Varney & Co. ”
Even though some of the sales didn’t involve firearms, businesses were forced to track down customers who they sold the items to because Intuit credited the money back to their accounts, the Post reported.
In Napolitano’s opinion, Intuit made a “terrible business decision.”
“They may very well have interfered with their customers’ businesses by not telling them ahead of time,” he added.

So if I charge a gun and it gets reversed, am I obligated to return it? I have a promissory agreement with the card company, not the business, right?
Well legally is one thing. However, a decent, honest person would make arrangements with the company in question to ensure the item they received is paid for.

Okaaaay, so lets say I've used it, and I decide to put myself back into the BS political fray.
The merchant can't sell it as new, he's lucky to break even on it.
I guess we all prioritize our problems in life. I don't think I should be subject to politics that I don't care to be a part of, after I've conducted a legal transaction. Especially when in this country, millions(collectively) of transaction fraud goes uninvestigated, because it's "too insignificant" to worry about.

So the merchant refuses to do business with anyone buying on a credit card or charges a premium for using a cc to cover the risk.

Yeah soooo, what about after the sale?
The merchant charges a cash deposit until the cc transaction goes through.
More risk more cost passed onto the customer.
Yes, but once again, after the sale, the charge is being reversed
