I’d rather see their stock tank. i’m tired of ‘complaining’ to these cowards/ignorants. Hit them where they listen, in the pocketbook.

Enterprise was founded by a member of the USS Enterprise from WWII and passed away a few years back. I bet he would have thought differently about his company’s actions.

Proggies and pubic schooled (indoctrinated) young proggies care not for true cause and effect. They do not engage in, nor are taught, critical thinking, logic or honest debate. They are intellectual adolescents, having not progressed past emotion-based decision making.

They trigger on and cling to emotional crusades — to save the Earth, applaud the queer and end gun violence — with zero regard to truths, facts, data, history or natural law.

It’s all about how they feel. Feelings: Disappointment, anger, disgust then hate. All fomented by their handlers — mothers, pubic school teachers, TV, music, movies, social media.

This is straight out of the Alinsky playbook and the little skulls full of mush, like Hogg and the chick with the crewcut are willing dupes.

(Not meaning your boycott)

Exactly!

How are we supposed to protect ourselves? This is another case where the police sure didn't.

The FBI could have prevent this, but are any liberals criticizing the FBI?

Well, Rush just delivered the coup d’grace to Enterprise and the Omaha bank...

I have as well. Agent got real quiet on the phone. Perhaps the agent had been getting a number of calls about this. Not sure if phone lines are getting scorched, but the more the merrier.

Stay polite. If you have, like me, rented from them before, express your displeasure without hyperventilating, and tell them to keep politics out of their business. Remind them of other businesses who cheese off half of their potential customers. USAA has them as their primary repair car replacement rental agency. Perhaps we should call USAA as well? First the NRA, then USAA? Not out of the realm of possibility, given this.

A shame. Liked doing business with them. Now, not so much.

Gun owners should boycott Enterprise and see who wins

Just so happens I am about to take a trip and needed to rent a car. Enterprise was usually my first choice. Not only will I not be using them, but because of CNN’s “Town Hall” meeting, the wife, my daughter and I will all be JOINING THE NRA.

Me too. I love Enterprise. I will go the extra mile to avoid them unless they recant.

Dear Enterprise, Alamo & National Management - I’d like to tell you a story about a rising country music band called the Dixie Chicks, and how they pissed off half the country and how it affected their prosperity...

While those 3 are dominant car rental companies - but I will PURPOSELY chose another brand based on their attack on the NRA.


Did you send this message to Enterprise???

Don’t just boycott - goto enterprise.com and reserve a car with a fake name and fake email address - and never show up. No credit card required. ...ties up a car and people that really want to rent one won’t be able to.

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.

Bears repeating!! Spot on.

If there is the airport bus I’ll take that. Usually I take the airport bus to the car rental areas. I just have to be picky with whose rentals I’ll take.

Have grown to dislike air travel since 9-11. But it’s better than Amtrak or greyhound.

I intend to. And I’ve used enterprise religiously for over a decade. You play you pay

Apparently not the last line. I had no idea that Enterprise bought the other two.

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

I'm on hold with them....they're saying that they're having an unusually high volume of calls.....bwahahaha.

After voicing my disgust about this, with the sales/booking rep, I asked to be transferred over to a Customer Service rep who confirmed to me that, yes...this is Enterprises new policy, effective March 26th.

I explained to her that our company would no longer be using Enterprise in any way, shape, form and that I plan to send this message out to all of our associates.

Send this info to everyone on your contact lists, all.
