I’ll take it up with the lawyers, politicians, insurance companies, and companies that won’t pay the difference to allow their employees to protect themselves.

Most of the time there really isn’t any insurance case. Will Pizza Hut be sued over this whether he’s fired or not?

There are companies that DO allow employee carry. For me, it’s as much a deal as a company saying blacks have a higher crime rate and are a bigger liability and therefore can’t be hired.

I simply CAN NOT abide by a company firing someone for a legal self defence act.

No, Pizza Hut will be sued when something happens by someone carrying who breaks the law. Not when someone does something like this.

Exactly.

Would PH fire the guy if he had picked up a mop and bludgeoned the robber to death? Or a knife laying on the counter used in preparing food? What if he had just fought the robber with his hands and the robber fell down, hit his head and died?

At some point, if robberies, especially of delivery drivers, are this prevalent, PH is liable for not allowing drivers to protect themselves within the law. Seems to me this is the lawsuit PH should fear.
