Wishing you continued success and plenty of great hunting stories in the year ahead!
Happy New Year,

Opp's... I sent this before I saw Chris already responded. Cheers
OK... Now that the panic is over, y'all need to get over PayPal being antigun. Almost all financial institutions are as well.
You can choose to boycott PayPal but the only one it hurts is you since they're so massive and they own Venmo and no telling how many other online payment options.
I, for one, never stopped using PayPal even when the huge blowup with them banning gun sales and many other things involving guns happened. I just use other methods for that and guess what? They're mostly antigun as well but don't ban gun and gun sales etc.
BTW... I took advantage of the discount that Chris offered and yes I used PayPal. LOL

thanks for the offer but I will never use PayPal and know nothing about stripe. honestly with all the scams and hacking on all these sites i will never put my credit card info anywhere on one, now if they have an option to send a check, I would be the first to send one.

^^^^ Ditto. I would also like to add that I would very much like to do so.
I agree! I had a PP account but canceled it many years ago because I never used it. The PP system that LRH has is only a payment instrument; I use AMEX for my payments.
People can also boycott China for all the Chinese products saturating the US, but here we are communicating with made-in-China products. Again, no one is being forced. L

I also received it. I first got an email of a "Private Conversation", then found a request from "Chris" when I went to the Forum.
I just reported it.
Same here. I don't use any electronic payments but would like to support the forum. Too bad they don't accept other payments because they are probably missing out on quite a few like me.
Any other options @Chris ?

Or you could keep feeding the companies that will destroy your freedoms. Same with YouTube. Is it convenient sure. That doesn't change the fact you are giving money to a company that hates you and what you believe in.
To many alternatives. Rumble for YouTube, I know Mastercard is t perfect but never once have they not allowed firearms or hunting activity. Many places I won't use even if it's easy.

Only time I have ever had someone scan my credit card was actually PayPal. Someone linked my card to PayPal and went on a spending spree.I agree!

I hate it when Scheels stops accepting personal check payments, but I understand why they did it. My wife wanted me to use one of our checking accounts to pay for all my hobby-related purchases. As noted above, I use AMEX for my LRH Supporter membership but personal checks for all my dealings with reputable LRH members.
My wife and I use our CCs almost extensively for all our product and service purchases, but we pay them off when we get the statements.
Same here, except I use mostly Visa for business and pay a statement time or before to avoid interest. I also use personal checks when purchasing on LRH. I am never in such a hurry that I can't wait for a check to clear.

I will mail USPS m.o. send address......
Rick, where is this "REPORT" button that you are referring to? There was another guy in here about a week ago trying to purchase or sell a gun frame or something like that. He got caught by another member in the middle of the scheme. Apparently the other member had read a couple of this guy's posts and put 2&2 together and called him out on it. And…I'm old and can sometimes be technically challenged!! Where is that report button you're talking about please??
