In the past, I've bought 10-12 guns on Carter's free finance offer.

Your warning is valid.

As a precaution, I pay the 12 month deal off in 11 months. Not that much more per month and it protects against a payment being posted late. The balance is always paid off well before the date any penalty would affix.

Yes, contact them. Carter's was using Wells Fargo until Wells Fargo decided they would no longer provide financing for firearms.

(So if you've got one of their green credit cards, it isn't valid now.)

The first company Carter's found to replace Wells Fargo would not do handguns.

I understand they now have a different lender for handguns, but I'm not sure they still offer the generous 0%/12 months deal on handguns.

So it appears they have one lender for handguns and another for everything else.
