I should probably use Paypal, but their rabid anti-2nd Amendment political stance keeps me from doing so.

I use a card that has just over the amount I am spending. Seems to work well.

I saw the same thing a while back... It seems from what I found they have not taken a stance at all, but there no firearm policy is for insurance/ legal reasons. Not to mention the scams on used firearms. I did hold out for a long time for the same reason, but I'll never look back.

Guys the issue is not with paypal or other payment systems, hackers get your CC number or bank acct info from numerous places and then use it else were. Paypal is no more secure than any other site or system used[HACKERS HAVE THERE NEEDED INFO LONG BEFORE THE ADMINISTRATORS KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG] . You could give your CC number over the phone and the place you used it some how get there CC info/records hacked or stolen from a employee. THERE IS NO SAFE PLACE !!!!!

Ben, sorry to hear of this. I started to sign up with pay pal but I just don't like the idea of them having my bank account number and password. Just doesn't work for me.

I have heard the insurance/legal reason/excuse, but in other reading, the company, (it's owners, leadership) is against most private gun ownership and for new ever restrictive gun control.

With the availability of Paypal and the companies using it, they are hard to avoid, but I still hate giving any money to a company whose core values are so opposite my own when it comes to gun ownership and the means to protect my family.

I love my bows, but living very rural, I am grateful I have access to the means for protection , from both two and four legged creatures, beyond a broadhead arrow.
