PayPal is no Pal to Soldiers Angels.
Soldier’s Angels – the beneficiary of a raffle organized by Kevin (linked above) suspended their acceptance of contributions for Gunblogger Rendezvous raffle tickets, apparently over the word “gun”.
From Kevin:
Because PayPal is anti-gun.
So where does that leave us? Well, you can call Soldiers’ Angels and do a transaction over the phone. During normal business hours (PST) you can call (626) 529-5114, or you can call their voicemail service any time at (615) 676-0239, leave them a callback number and they’ll get back to you – probably the less expensive option, timewise. It’s not as convenient as a mouse click, but it beats snail-mailing a check.
You can also contact PayPal. Their Customer Service phone number is (402) 935-2050.
I’ve never asked this before, but I would appreciate it if every gun- and mil-blogger on the web and every gun board picked this up and spread it far and wide. I’m tired of gun-bigots. PayPal needs to hear from US – the law-abiding gun owners of this country – that we’re no longer willing to just roll over when we’re abused by the companies we “trust” just because we believe in and practice the rights guaranteed to us under the Second Amendment.?
What’s the recourse?
Well for one, don’t use PayPal. Two, don’t use eBay (PayPal’s ownner). Three, use the call-in number Kevin has listed. You contributions to Soldier’s Angels are more appreciated than the contentment of the sniveling statists at PayPal.
Oh, and never use MY PayPal commercial account again, either. For anything. Ever.

We’ve managed to bypass PayPal! Another sponsor of the Rendezvous, LuckyGunner.com, an ammo site, is doing the on-line ticket sales for us with all proceeds (minus the 3% credit card fee) going to Soldiers’ Angels. Soldiers’ Angels is still taking phone orders for those who don’t want to purchase on-line. Details here.
