Please stop banking with Citizens Bank. I applied for a small business
loan to buy a gun shop and was denied do to their policy of not lending to
the firearms industry.

This is not a baseless claim, I have their policy listing the restricted
business. Clay Sportsmens Club is moving their money market after asking if
they would loan to a gun club and were told no loaning to any gun related
organization.

I have sent SCOPE President, Ken Mathison all pertanent information and he
should have received it today. I also have contacted the NRA, NYS
Conservation Council and am contacting NYS rifle and Pistol the NYS outdoor
writers Association Gun Week and Outdoor New York.

Please spread the word, move your acounts and let them know why. You can
also call your branch of Citizens Bank and ask them about their loaning
policies.
Let them hear from the gun owners, my goal is to reach 20 to 50 million
sportsmen in the north east.

Thank You All
