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.

I am turning away from everyone of these businesses that are attacking our constitution. We MUST protect what is our given rights.

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.

Seems bizarre that the credit company can arbitrarily decide to do this AFTER THE TRANSACTION with no recourse!?!

They are well within their right, as are their [former] customers to no longer do business with them. Let the free market sort it out.

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.
:think:
More risk more cost passed onto the customer.

Yes, but once again, after the sale, the charge is being reversed

We use Quicken and TurboTax. Time to look for an alternative.

I also use both, but I use Square Up for the credit card processing. No minimums, no monthly fees, no sliding scale, nothing... they're excellent, and the money is deposited next business day. If you find a decent alternative to the accounting and tax software, please post it, especially if it can import a quick books database to get started... converting manually is a lot of work!

try GNUcash for your book keeping... its open source and free 9I think- might have a small charge for business use)- get it from sourceforge.

Thank you; I will check that out. I don't mind if I have to pay for it, only if I have to put in each entry by hand. That would be painful.
