I sent this letter Monday:


Mr. William C. Rhodes, Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer
Mr. Richard C. Smith, Vice President-Store Operations
AutoZone, Inc.
123 South Front Street
Memphis, Tennessee 38103

Dear sirs:

I will be taking my business to O’Reilly, Advance, or Pep Boys after reading reports that you fired Mr. Devin McClean of Virginia for acting responsibly and courageously in the face of an immediate and credible threat to himself, his colleagues, and your property. I will reconsider my decision if and when you rescind your zero-tolerance policy prohibiting your employees from bearing firearms in your stores.

Sincerely,

It's always about liability. Next time a criminal gets hurt trying to rob someone, and attempts to sue, the public should lynch his lawyer.

I've been an Autozone customer for several years, and I just sent them an email telling them I'm shopping elsewhere if they don't correct this.

That's my company policy.

Send emails directly to Autozone letting them know you won't be shopping there until this man is reinstated.

Call: (800) AUTOZONE (1-800-288-6966)

Advanced Auto Parts is owned by the same company as Auto Zone.

Boycotte both.

If the company has a zero tolerance policy of no firearms, Autozone is announcing that their stores are gun-free victim zones ripe for the pickings. Who would want to shop or work there?
