nurkvinny Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I worked for these idiots. I will now never walk in their stores again http://www.10tv.com/content/stories/2013/01/18/johnstown-man-chases-off-robber-loses-job-for-having-gun.html Let me add... this company bought out our BP location that we owned for another 5-7 years. This story makes me sick. Especially considering what we had behind the counter and under our seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeesammy Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 An AutoZone employee was fired in November IIRC due to a similar situation. He escaped out a fire exit to retrieve his firearm in his vehicle to save another employee from the armed robber. Was later fired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordell Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 So basically they'd rather be robbed and collect the insurance money, then protect human life and have some morals. Fucking sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sol740 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 That's the sad state of personal responsibility in this country. Companies have to protect themselves from law suits, as they could and likely would be held liable if an employee had an incident, such as accidentally (well, negligently) discharging his weapon, or if one were to fire in defense and hit a bystander. I would personally love a company to have a don't ask, don't tell policy regarding personal firearms, but I certainly understand why they don't in our sue-happy America. Until there are protections in place (I don't see that happening) for employers, employees that choose to arm themselves must understand that they will likely lose their jobs should they have to use it. I imagine few people value their jobs (particularly gas station jobs) over their lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copperhead Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Damn, that's the only gas station I go to in town since it's the only 24 hour one. Guess the only way they will get my business from now on is if I'm open carrying. And since that's about a quarter mile from home its a good reason to take the gf shooting the AR again so she's familiar with it in case she needs to use it.

In today's job market do people really have the luxury to turn down a position because of a policy they don't agree with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
