That's exactly why I keep a claymore on the front porch.
Democratic Oklahoma state Sen. Frank Shurden says. "I am in favor of letting a licensed permit holder carry the gun in the workplace. There's no reason to fear law-abiding citizens."
> "It's not fair,"
There is no "fair". The employee knew the score, and
(wisely) decided that his life was worth more than the job.
Employers are going to listen to their lawyers (and
lawyers always advise that "no" is the safest thing
to say). Another problem is that "yes" also involves
having a detailed policy, which takes time, care and
effort.
Laws taking the matter out of employer hands will help,
but what the employers really need is some assurance that
they are at lower legal risk if they permit weapons than
if they pretend to prohibit.
What it might take is some employer getting sued by the
survivors of a deceased employee who was prevented from
defending themselves.
A "No Firearms" sign at the front gate is really a sign
saying:
"Armed felons and felons-to-be welcome.
Free-fire zone inside."
In this New and Improved Modern World that the Socialist have developed for us, through the Feminization of our society and the controlloling our thoughts through Hate Crime legislation, has become a very dangerous place to live.
If the armed Pizza Delivery Person doesn't like his tip, it would probably be in his best interest to condider he just might be facing a 12 guage Shotgun!
Hmmm.. does a company parking lot qualify as private property (assuming it's owned by the company and not available to the general public) ? If so, I'd say the company can specify no firearms on their property if they so desire. I worked once for one corp that had a "no camper" policy due to certain night shift activities LOL.
Thank you for the post. I do not have to buy Pizza Hut, nor do the other families to whom I tell this.
It is absurd to think that your life is to be given for the sake of their lack of principle.
I can learn to like something else better.
It's philosophically irrisponsable to take the other line. One of the underline premises of human civilization is that humans are basically good, and can live peaceably with each other. Anti-gun laws on the other hand presuppose that humans are crazed animals who will kill each other unless properly restricted. If that supposition is true you shouldn't hire them anyway.
Moron. She should be more concerned about customers opening fire on the delivery guy over their piece-of-s#$t pizzas.
And that delivery guy ought to be able to defend himself from the consequences of Patty's pizzas.
"It's not fair," says Honeycutt of Carmel, Ind., who has found another pizza-delivery job and continues to carry a gun. "There is a constitutional right to bear arms. If I'm going to die, I'd rather be killed defending myself."

Damn straight!
BTT
I'm a little concerned over this employee's behavior.
It sounds to me like he emptied the magazine. Shouldn't he have reserved a few rounds for a possible "backup" thug who may have been waiting in reserve?
Of course, then, I've heard that emptying the magazine into the thug is good for your defense when the leftist POS DA tries to get the grand jury to indict you; if you emptied the magazine you can claim it was a reflex fear reaction.
Just wondering out loud here...
here we go again...

Its quite simple. If a company has a policy that allows employees to carry firearms, they would be open to lawsuits from "victims" (deep pockets syndrome). Like the guy that was shot 39 times by police...and lived...and sued. Pain and suffering, dontcha know. Lawsuit alleged that police imcompetence let him live, hence great pain. Sick, huh?
Large employers are also more likely to be socialist pits of political correctness and liberal fantasies.
