This is probably illegal in Georgia. They have a law other states should adopt (passed after Operation Chokepoint): no financial services can be denied to legal firearms businesses because they are in that business.
It is illegal in Georgia. It is up to the GA Attorney General to go after the financial institution. The law says he shall do it, but I don't know if that means he must.

I think this is as good a reason as any to replace my Bank of America VISA card with one from a company that is not so obviously hostile to an important American value.
I am closing my account and cancelling my cards. I will be sending a letter to the COB and letting him know that he obviously does not want my business either. Not a big deal to them when one person does it but it could end up big
