Wow/crazy

[VirginiaJim]

My mortgage is with WF and I'm not going to change because of that but I won't do any more add on business with them.

[maxtog]

I am getting tired of businesses taking political stances.  Rarely is it good for business, anyway.

[gPink]

The fedgov's 'Operation Chokepoint' is the cause of this.

Does W/F allow transactions on the sale of gasoline... just asking....?

Or fertalizer?


Or....oh never mind.
You get the picture...


Maybe they should restrict compromising transactions with companies supplying tea, to US soil... let's start from square one ...again...

[VirginiaJim]

I'm not so sure I like that last point..  I don't think we grow tea over here.

All depends on how they were directed by the Regime's DOJ.

I wonder if they do business with kitchen/steak/butcher knife manufactures?

Or with any of a zillion other stores that sell utility/hunting/defense/camping/other knives.... like Walmart, Sears, KMart, Target, etc, etc.

Good point. Do they deny business with Bed Bath and Beyond because I just checked and they do sell Henchels knifes online.

I'm in the same boat. I didn't take my mortgage out with WF but they bought it after the fact.

[DaddyFlip]

I bought my home with WF several years ago. I was fortunate to be able to pay off my mortgage last year, so I am free of that burden.

On a better note, the X5 knife shown at the top of the article got my attention. I was not even aware Hogue had a line of knives, nor their association with Allen Elishewitz. I've been a Spyderco nut for the last 15 years. So I'm buying an X5, and an EX-02 tanto folder, AND a matching G10 grip for my LCR. I've never been a big boycott person, but I like to do business with right thinking folks... AKA folks who think like ME.

[Nosmo]

So I guess Wells Fargo would have us believe some sort of revisionist history wherein their stagecoaches ran around unarmed and undefended, no knives or pistols or shotguns, etc.  They never had armed guards inside their banks?  Hypocrisy appears to be the name of the game here.

I have Hogue Mono-grips on a couple of my pistols, very nice products.

[BackInTheSaddle]

I am guessing that this came from their legal department rather than a political policy.  The way lawsuits drag in everyone to try to extract more money for "victims" the less likely products/services are going to want to have anything to do with "weapons" that could result in injury or death.  Silly, sad, but true.

I liked the look of that X5 myself. What was the cost?

I also have some of Hogue's grips on my pistols. Nicely designed and very well made.

Proud of it aren't they. I think maybe the spur might hinder the draw.
