FYI - National and Alamo are both owned by Enterprise as well.

Do both. It’s a lot more fun, and gives you a chance to vent.

Yeah “8^)

I’d include a list of companies that suffered from such decisions, the number of gun owners and hunters that travel through airports with their guns, and include some quotes from famous people warning against offending half of your income base.

Call Enterprise Customer Service at 1-855-266-9565 and give them a piece of your mind. I just did.

That’s pretty close to what I said, using Target and Kellogg’s as an example, and pointing out that money has no politics.

If I have to rent again, I guess it will be from Hertz.

Hertz is pricey. I had to go with Dollar.

I hope Enterprise reconsiders. They have a good product.

"The NRA is only going to gain membership this year because the grabbers are at it again."

That seems to be the trend.

BTW - It' amazes me me every time a shooting takes place that the NRA is attacked. No shooters are NRA members and the NRA teaches safety not reckless mayhem. The people against the NRA don't care about facts. They just want the end of private gun ownership at any cost. They cannot tolerate a person not depended on the government.

Why is it every time a psychopathic mass murdering liberal democrat shoots up a school, all the other liberal psychopaths want to disarm conservatives and ban the NRA?

Conservatives, and especially NRA members, have never shot up a school.

Book Hertz through USAA if you can - much better deals.

The most effective answer, however, is to ridicule their utter unAmerican stupidity. Does one of them have an answer to George Washington's argument: A few years earlier, at the conclusion of the War, General Washington had put his thoughts on the Common Defence into a May 2, 1783 draft to Alexander Hamilton, entitled Sentiments On A Peace Establishment:

...to prove ...the Policy and expediency of resting the protection of the Country on a respectable and well established Militia, we might not only shew the propriety ...from our peculiar local situation, but we might have recourse to the Histories of Greece and Rome in their most virtuous and Patriotic ages.... we might see, with admiration, the Freedom and Independence of Switzerland supported for Centuries, in the midst of powerful and jealous neighbors, by means of a hardy and well organized Militia. ...

It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even of his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice...

The following month, June 8, 1783, Washington reported to the States, in surrendering the solemn trust of his command:

The Militia of this Country must be considered as the Palladium of our security, and the first effectual resort in case of hostility...

Washington's reference to the Swiss was quite revealing. Trained, as school boys, in the safe, correct and deadly accurate use of arms, the Swiss had and have managed to maintain an armed neutrality for generations amidst their more warlike, but less war efficient neighbors. While world travelers have reported for generations that Switzerland, where every household has its own military grade weapons, has the lowest crime rate in Europe. The Swiss have also managed to preserve the diverse rights of their 22 Cantons (or States) better than any other Federation in the world.

Yet perhaps the single most important reason why Washington wanted America to adopt the Swiss system, is that it teaches the youth--in the most immediate and compelling manner--the importance of that level of personal responsibility on which all of our other institutions are based. It gives youth a sense of purpose, importance and self-worth, for which all the words expended by "Liberal" theorists, from the Creation to this day, are no substitute.
