Goodbye Square, you Constitution haters.

I signed up for Square back before the last gun show of 2012 on Black Friday. 3 more gun shows (Jan. Mar. and Apr.) I used their service to take credit and debit cards. Then came the e mail about the new terms of service. Of course I didn't bother to read it, I hate all the fine print. Then one day, someone (I think it was David Codrea) had a article about square and how they were no longer allowing anything that had to do with guns and ammunition. So I went back and read the new term and there it was bigger than life, No guns, no gun parts, no ammunition or any weapons. the mew terms would take effect on June 9th.

I found PPS and started a conversation with a nice lady named Tracy. She assured me that they could set me up with someone that was 2A friendly. It took a couple of weeks and I had to send them things like bank statements and such, but they got me set up just in time for this weekend. I got a card reader for my phone and got my account set up.

It took me a  couple of e mails to cancel my Square account.

Since you no longer allow me to use your service, I want my account canceled immediately.

No muss, no fuss. I deleted their software out of my phone and deleted the bookmark on my laptop. I will be passing the word to everyone I see at the show this weekend. 

Speaking of shows, It's time to start getting loaded so I can go get set up. Everyone have a good weekend.
