I just finished up a call with "Marsha" from Verizon Corporate in Albuquerque. I was told that corporate policy is "NO WEAPONS or FIREARMS" in any of its stores.
Funny thing, I was told I could go to Best Buy or Walmart if I needed to put "hands on " a device to which I told her while laughing.... Those two stores allow lawful carry of a firearm.
