WHAT A GREAT DAY!
Below we have the story on yesterday's protest at AutoZone in Yorktown written by Amanda Kerr with the Daily Press and also a really great video taken by the Daily Press photographer. Both spent quite a bit of time at the protest.
We had over FORTY gun owners show up to line the sidewalk in front of AutoZone (on a weekday, in the middle of the day). We held signs saying:
AutoZone Fires Heroes!
Berma shave style:
1. Save a Life?
2. AutoZone fires you!
1. Stop a robbery?
2. AutoZone fires you!
I could not believe all the cars and trucks honking their horns and waving enthusiastically as they passed the group! All of us were surprised and elated. People were pulling into the mall to go shake Devin's hand. A few people passing by stopped to join the protest!
The AutoZone parking lot, for the most part, looked like a ghost town. I wished I had a tumbleweed to toss in their parking lot! ;-)
For those of you who couldn't make this one, you really missed a great event - the public support for a hero was clear and strong.
The Shady Banks Shopping Center, where AutoZone is located, was extremely nice to us and gave us specific permission to park in their parking lot and to marshall there. The Mall did ask us not to protest in the parking lot and we honored that request.
The 7-11 across the street was giving our members FREE coffee! When I learned of that, I walked over to thank them for their support and generosity. They, too, were supporting a hero.
Sheriff Danny Diggs showed up and talked with us for a little while. Standard Operating Procedure: several deputies were stationed in the area during the protest. They were polite and professional and, from their point of view, bored. ;-)
ON TO THE NEXT PROTESTS: SATURDAY
Tomorrow we have our protests in Colonial Heights and Hopewell - come out and join us! A reminder alert on the protests with addresses and times will go out later today.

Gun group protests firing of AutoZone employee
By Amanda Kerr, akerr@dailypress.com
December 13, 2012
YORK — Nearly 40 people gathered outside an AutoZone store on Hampton Highway Thursday to protest the firing of a store employee for using his own handgun to confront a robber.
The protest was organized by the Virginia Citizens Defense League, a nonprofit pro-firearms group. Philip Van Cleave, president of the Defense League, said the group wanted to support former AutoZone employee Devin McClean, who was fired following a robbery at the store on Nov. 16. McClean's story has gained local and national attention. McClean appeared on "CBS This Morning" on Dec. 8 and a Facebook page calling for the boycott of AutoZone in support of McClean has more than 9,000 likes.
York-Poquoson Sheriff Danny Diggs has publicly stated his support of McLean's actions. Diggs said in an interview Thursday that he plans to recognize McClean later this month with a Sheriff's Citizens Commendation award. He described AutoZone's decision to fire McClean as "flawed."
"I think what he did was a very brave thing," Diggs said.
During the incident McClean ran to his vehicle to get his Glock .40-caliber handgun, then went back in building to confront the suspect, who was also armed with a gun. The suspect fled without taking any money from the store. The same suspect is believed to have robbed the same AutoZone in September.
Investigators think the suspect might be the "fake beard robber" who is believed to have committed more than 30 robberies on the Peninsula in the last year.
McClean, who served two years in the Air Force, said his "military instincts" kicked in.
"I didn't know what he was capable of but I understood what I was capable of," he said.
A few days after the robbery McClean said a district manager fired him because of the company's zero tolerance policy banning employees from having firearms while at work.
An AutoZone employee at the store on Thursday said the company's policy was to give no comment. McClean said the manager who was at the store during the robbery as well as other employees have thanked him for his actions. He started a new job at a local construction company on Monday.
During the protest the crowd applauded when McClean arrived. Throughout the morning people were thanking him and calling him a hero. Some people even gave him cash.
"It's humbling to think this many people support me," McClean said.
"He did the right thing," said Yorktown resident Andy Anderson.
Anderson said people have a constitutional right to protect themselves and said AutoZone's policy was "constitutionally wrong."
Van Cleave said McClean "should never have been fired." He hopes the Defense League can put pressure on AutoZone to change its policy regarding firearms.
The Virginia Citizens Defense League is planning two more protests on Saturday at AutoZone stores in Hopewell and Colonial Heights, where the company has its district headquarters.

York County's Emergency Communications Center Launches Text to 911 for Verizon Wireless Customers
December 10, 2012
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Verizon Wireless customers in York County, Poquoson and Williamsburg, can now send a short message service (SMS) text message to 911 for emergency help when unable to make a 911 call. This service will be available to any Verizon Wireless customer within range of a York County, Poquoson, and Williamsburg cell tower. Text to 911 is intended primarily for use in two emergency scenarios: for those individuals who are hearing impaired and for those unable to make a voice call, for example during a medical emergency that renders the person incapable of speech, or in the instance of a home invasion or abduction.
"The safety of residents and visitors in York County, Poquoson and Williamsburg is our number-one concern. Text to 911 could be a life-saver, especially for people who might otherwise not be able to make a voice call. I congratulate my team members for their work in establishing this service and for setting an example for other public safety professionals," said York-Poquoson Williamsburg Emergency Communications Chief Terry Hall.
"Verizon Wireless has been at the forefront of working with public safety stakeholders to bring text to 911 to our customers," said Richard Craig, director of engineering for Verizon Wireless. "Our SMS911 National Gateway enables us to bring reliable emergency communications to PSAPs across the country. We were proud to work alongside the team in York County and TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. (TCS), to deploy this new solution."
Important information for Verizon Wireless customers in York County, Poquoson and Williamsburg
Verizon Wireless customers in York County, Poquoson and Williamsburg should keep the following in mind if they send a text to 911:
--Customers should use the texting option only when calling 911 is not an option.
--Using a phone to call 911 is still the most efficient way to reach emergency help. Texting is not always instantaneous, which is critical during a life-threatening emergency. It may take slightly longer to dispatch emergency services in a text to 911 situation because of the time involved: someone must enter the text, the message must go over the network and the 911 telecommunicator must read the text and then text back.
--Proving location information and nature of the emergency in the first text message is imperative, since the York-Poquoson-Williamsburg Emergency Communications Center will receive only an approximate location of the cell phone, and will not be able to speak with the person sending the text. Text abbreviations or slang should never be used so that the intent of the dialogue can be as clear as possible.
--Texts sent to 911 have the same 160-character limit as other text messages.
--Verizon Wireless customers who use Usage Controls should remove the Usage Controls feature to ensure full text to 911 capability.
--Verizon Wireless customers must have mobile phones that are capable of sending text messages. Any text message to 911 will count either against their messaging bundle or be charged at 20 cents each. Customers on ShareEverything plans have unlimited texts as part of their plans, including text to 911.
--The solution is available for customers who use the SMS provided by Verizon Wireless. It is not available for third party text messaging applications that can be downloaded to the phone or for applications that do not use SMS technology.
--The texting function should only be used for emergency situations that require an immediate response from police, fire or emergency medical services. Non-emergency issues should still be communicated to the York-Poquoson-Williamsburg Emergency Communications Center through its non-emergency line at (757) 890-3621.
About the SMS Solution
The Verizon Wireless SMS911 National Gateway has three text to 911 delivery options: a web browser solution known as GEM911 for PSAPs (public safety answering points) with Internet access and web browser capability; a Direct IP solution for next-generation IP-enabled PSAPs with call taker workstations that have integrated text handling software; and an SMS to TTY solution for legacy PSAPs.
The York-Poquoson-Williamsburg Emergency Communications Center is the first PSAP to use the new SMS911 gateway; a significant step in making text to 911 available for PSAPs more broadly. The deployment follows the announcement earlier this year from Verizon Wireless and TCS to make available a national text to 911 solutions.
