Verizon Wireless does the right thing (gun rights)

[CRTV1982]

Okay I did not watch the entire video before I posted the comment.

[CRTV1982]

You are in Texas, aren't you? I am too. The whole 30.06 is a Texas Conceal Carry policy.

[merddyn2002]

@CRTV1982 Thanks for watching though :)

[ronnie421421]

Great move, Buddy. I, too, am a CHL holder and a customer of Verizon here in the South Texas area. Even though the Verizon store I go to had no such sign posted, I am glad to hear that Verizon has taken down the one near you and not allowing other Verizon stores to post the sign. I'm suddely proud to be a Verizon customer! LOL. (and they do have awesome service)

[NoMAIG]

Nice job!! I did something similar with the 7 Eleven stores where I live. I called and called and called and called them and got nowhere. I wrote a letter addressed to the owner and some time later, I was notified that they would take down their NO GUN stickers and they have. In the letter I made mention of how much fuel (on average) my company buys from the each month, not counting food items etc and I told them I would take my business elsewhere if they didnt take the stickers down. Peace

I wish I knew how to accurately type the sound of applause. Bravo!

[RubiconTSL]

Excellent job bro, I applaud your efforts on this issue. Outstanding!!!!

[FirearmsARTechnition]

verizon sucks if you want the best get att cingular ive had it for 5 yrs theirs always a signal

[merddyn2002]

@FirearmsARTechnition congratulations, you completely missed the whole point of the video.

[FirearmsARTechnition]

@merddyn2002 im just reppin my phone service like you by the way do you own an xbox

[abbasean]

@FirearmsARTechnition its not all about network service it's more about customer services

[NinjaGirlRachel]

Bra-fucking-Vo. I too go with Verizon Wireless here in TX, and I am amazed at what you've done. Thank you for your excellence, Merddyn.

Excellent job, Sir. You are the kind of person we need helping promote our 2nd Amendment rights. Keep it up!!!

[Pinstripedtie]

I think because you were very complete and straight up in your letter, that you made them see the point pretty quickly. Good job man!

[merddyn2002]

thanks man, i'm thinking about sending a re-drafted copy of the letter to AMC theatres to see if i can make any progress with them.

[LtColDaddy71]

while I support any private business owner to make their own choice, I too would never take my money to someone who felt their opinions over rides my constitutional rights.

[minnywoo01]

I also "vote with my dollars" and am a new Verizon subscriber. I was impressed with your experience with Verizon, so took your advice and emailed Verizon, with this link, commending them for being good Americans.

[gorak142]

I don't understand 30-06 wording? I would take it that means whoever is posting the sign that says no handguns has to have sign be very specific about what caliber handguns they prohibit? You guys are lucky in Illinois we don't even have concealed carry thanks to people like dickhead Daley, and Jesse Jackass.

[bobsolla]

good job brother!i`m a verizon wireless customer in fla. and we don`t have those signs at their store`s and i`m also a ccw carrier;but i applaud you at getting this done to protect our right`s!

[huntinforit]

YOU ARE MY HERO. If more people had your judgement it would be great. I am a Verizon customer and would of changed providers over this. Please support Verizon Wireless.

[9x23win]

Good job.  I'm a Verizon customer too. Maybe I'll stay one. I get really horrified looks at my bank when I tease them about the no Beretta or no 1911 signs, and then ask them if a Glock is ok.

[fupasack2]

that is truly amazing

[Kminuteman24]

way to go buddy, maybe ill think about switching to verizon.

[mikevanross69]

very cool story.

[lochinverx]

you cannot have an outstanding student loan in texas? BIG WIN! Great job! If that is indeed the case with ATT that they are anti CCW protection, I will drop them come my contract term. Is this confirmed?

[merddyn2002]

not sure how much more confirmed you could get. I heard it directly from a VP's assistant :)

[TapOutSnap]

since so much time has passed, now might be a good time to ask... have you gone in to the store since? how did it work out if so?

Excellent Info thanks for the vid, and for fighting the good fight

[merddyn2002]

ya, i've been in there 2-3 times. no issues at all, but then again i carry concealed so it's not like they would even know i was carrying anyway.

[got2xlr8]

FTW!!! W2G Dude!

[Forgoten214]

Great stuff! If only ATT was as friendly :(. I am going to be getting Verizon Wireless shortly.

As soon as this 2 year agreement is up.

[jdwood43]

This is exactly what we all need to do....Your wording in the letter was perfect was educational to them (V.W.) and also respectfull.

you should feel surprised, flabergasted, but you should feel proud not to be just one of there customers but for helping to preserve our right under the law and doing us all a huge service..

thank you.

..if I were in Tx. I'd buy you a beer.

[thrawn127]

Hey merddyn2002 can you take a look at my vid I made please? Its about my Taurus I would greatly appreciate it thanks

Brian

[COALTION]

dosent have anything to do with the vid but what would u recomend hollow point or round nose or maybe somthing better then the two i named

[merddyn2002]

I use federal hydroshock for personal defense. I've heard good things about corbon rounds though. i've been meaning to look into those but haven't made the time to do it. My first mag is Federal Hydroshock and my two spares are ball FMJ

[COALTION]

THANX

[sshuravesky]

Surprising but encouraging action by Verizon. But you forgot to put up the e-mails for the execs that we could write to.

[merddyn2002]

ahhh, sorry about that. It's in the More Info section now.

[65ngf756n7yb]

Excellent job on your part - good for Verizon also! Thanks for your advocacy.

[burntkat]

OUTSTANDING!! Thank you sir!

Sometimes one man can make a difference.

[ssstealth]

THAT is a service to our country, good sir!

[theoriginalSkooby]

You are a great American.

[HypnoticAngel29]

You did an amazing job it is very unusual that a corporation would make the right decision congrats on your achievement :)

[bearo657]

Good for you, man. You rocked it by showing that gun owners are responsible, mature, civil gentlemen.

[merddyn2002]

thank you... yet some part of me is offended :)

jk :)

[JAllison32]

Awesome way of handling it. Things get done by doing them in a civil manner, not yelling out on the streets. Congrats on a job well done.

[homertalk]

Right -on! If more people pointed this out conceal carry would be much more accepted.

I'm stuck in California with no rights.

What's hanging on your picture?

[merddyn2002]

my picture?

[JAllison32]

I think he means what type of gun you have in the picture.

[merddyn2002]

oh, it's hard to see but that's a bit of cartoon art from a friend of mine. it's just a generic pistol from a video game we all used to play a lot.

[saxmanmax]

awesome
