The CC and payment processor, bank, and insurance if done properly will outshine your gun business due to the cancel culture. I always wanted to start a bank. I guess I helped a little by buying a bunch of mags over the years from you. |

PSA is doing an amazing job of being what it means to be American.
ARFCOM is still the best place on the web to be an American despite its…..well things have taken a turn for the worst everywhere and this place mirrors the outside world so its no surprise it feels different. |

Boy, this thread sure escalated quickly. I recall lurking back on ARF, reading about this company PSA and making my first order in...well, I suppose 2010ish? Seems crazy that it has been that long. Your actions speak volumes. Excited to see all of the diversification in the future!

I would definitely move my money market savings over to a PSA bank!
My current bank is BB&T, and if their name change to "Truist" is any indication, it's all downhill for them from here. |

I remember driving from Gilbert SC 30 miles to the old Farrow store during rhr 2013 panic because they had 1 box of stripped lowers and 8 complete Rifles ($800 each). They couldn't hold one for me so I drove as fast as I could....got the next to last one. |

Whether PSA were to buy it or not, I wouldn’t care, I’d still make it my first stop when shopping and I’d still send all of my friends there for deals.
I don’t give a rat’s ass about the ‘meh, “poors”, “If it’s all you can afford” and “jUsT aS gUuD” snob asses’ that look down their noses and jack off with hundred dollar bills while hitting f5 on their keyboards for quotes and likes… You guys kick ass, bring freedom and arm thousands of Americans who just want to be in charge of their own protection. By the looks of it, you guys are having the time of your life, not taking yourselves too seriously and, honestly, most likely proud to have grown into the company you’ve become. More power to you! Sincerely, TKLOL…Lifetime customer. p.s. You should buy Arfcom right after you get the Spiker out the door and on the floor. Aloha, Mark |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You know ar15.com created PSA. I remember my brother and I sat in a sandwich shop on a Thursday with an IT guy and we built the PSA web site.

The family went to myrtle beach that evening and I remember staying up late that evening watching the orders coming in in total shock, I think we had like 7 orders that Friday and 12 Saturday, everything after that is a blur.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Banking and insurance where the two hardest. Once we had the bank, the credit card was easy. Finding a 50 state registered insurance partner was almost impossible, but we did it. The slogan for the insurance company is “Guns, Home, Auto” we thought just putting the guns in there would draw people in. We will start issuing firearms and CWP insurance in a few weeks and then launch general lines (home/auto) early next year Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I bet the insurance company is harder to get going than the bank, I know startups that all they can manage is just being admitted in one state in the first couple of years. Even buying a shell in a state is hard to get off the ground, reinsurance etc. I write insurance underwriting software from top to bottom. Banking and insurance where the two hardest.
