Plain stupid on B of A's part.

That sounds like Bank of America, last April they snubbed another gun maker

They are a horrible bank for other reasons as well.

who the hell are they to take it upon themselves to freeze the accounts of a customer that has not broken any laws, but whom they simply disagree with? I would not be surpised if they were pressured by Obama's treasury department.

The article says that, so far its a one sided face book claim, but if its true it is complete B.S. and an example of the huge anti gun movement iceberg that we have only seen the tip of so far. WAIT..

Something sounds real strange about that story. One would think that such an act by Bank of America would be obviously illegal. Maybe there's more to the story that what we see in this article.

I agree doc there has to be more to the story. But I've experienced similar situations with BOA. I could understand their policy if it is a new account to prevent kiting the money. But I've deposited large amounts of $$$ in escrow several times a year for closings. Each time BOA would tell me I have to wait up to 2 weeks before it is made available and everytime I need to speak to a manager and tell them it is for a closing in a few days if they don't release it then I'm taking my business elsewhere. Then they release it immediately. Getting tired of this and started looking to move my business accts elsewhere.
