It’s too easy not to support these companies.

Verzon stores locally do not have the "no weapons" signs. At&T (the only other choice) doesn't work past the end of the sidewalk.

The family has been making the shift to no contract phones (cheaper!)

If I were the ceo of these companies, I’d want guns out of the hands of people too. Nothing but over paid left wing shills.

I have a Ford F150 super cab and it pulls all I want it to pull. But I also have a 4 year old VW diesel jetta for mpg. It’s a good car, but if I’d known about this, I wouldn’t have bought it.

Like with all these companies, it’s too easy to switch to a competitor.

See the way the leftwing shakedown industry works? Hasbro gets to sell loads of toy guns without being protested because they pay off the protestors.

Good catch, dangus. I hadn’t thought about their hypocrisy over toy guns, action figures, etc.

When your work is out in the boonies, and there is only one company you can get a signal with, and you are required to maintain communications the choices narrow considerably.

The alternative would be to close down my business, and make six figures a year less. For that difference I can offset what ever Verizon puts toward anti-gun efforts with a few donations (GOA, NRA, JPFO, SAF).

In my area of southern, rural Ohio, I get ATT clear as can be. Verizon works on one side of my house and doesn’t on the other.

I also think your idea of counter-balancing their position with your donations IS an acceptable way of dealing with these companies. Most of us think of switching, but I agree that phone reception is a different issue, since I have the same problem, only reversed.

So, what can you do?

1. Switch to a different company.

2. If one of these companies is your only option, then counter their position with a donation to a pro-gun group.

Makes sense to me.

How is it that you can’t refuse to take pictures of a homosexual wedding or to bake a cake for another Homosexual party. But you CAN DENY MFGRS of GUNS to have their accts. in Your Bank or other numerous Businesses.
God save America from the fools.

I’d quit shopping at Staples except they just announced that the Office Depot near me is closing.

I switched to Staples last year after Office Depot started contributing major dollars to liberal programs in public schools. Understand Office Max is merging either with Office Depot or Staples. Choices are becoming almost non-existent.
