Firearms and Other Weapons Had a request for this forum, so here it is. Guess it will give me some place to talk about guns myself after selling my ArmsLocker forum.

Default Autozone is 100% anti-gun

I read an NRA email about an Autozone employee who saved the life of his store manager when he held a would-be robber at gunpoint waiting for police to arrive. By time the cops arrived the perp decided to make a run for it. He did manage to get away and no shots were fired. The manager thanked his subordinate for saving his life and two days after this happened, the hero was fired by Autozone quoting a company policy of zero tolerance regarding guns.

Pep Boys, O'Reillys, Napa -any place other than Autozone -until one of them espouses the same views towards firearms.

Can you cut and paste that email or a link here? I would like to copy that to them when I unsubscribe from their email solicitations.

This isn't the email I mentioned but it's the same story as told by FoxNews.

Yeah, they'll not be seeing me entering one of their stores. Now that it is public knowledge that their employees cannot defend against armed robbers, or they will lose their job, why the heck do I want to put myself in the position of being in a "criminal friendly" environment? Heck, no customers, no money in the cash register, then no reason for criminals to go there. I'm looking at this as a public service to Autozone.

Even though they said that there is a company policy prohibiting an EMPLOYEE from having a weapon inside the store, I still won't go there.
