Deputy picking up engagement ring turned away from store over service weapon

The jewelry chain already has problems with low sales:

“Signet Jewelers
The owner of Kay Jewelers, Jared, Zales and other jewelry chains announced recently that it plans to close about 150 stores. A company spokesman declined to give a list to the Dayton Daily News.”

The national toll free line is open...I feel better

The deputy says when he got to the store, he was told he wasn’t allowed to wear his service weapon on their premises.

911: "Nine-one-one. What is the nature of your emergency?"

Kays: "We are being robbed! I'm barricaded in the back, they are trying to break down the door! There are three of them and they have guns! Come quickly!"

911: "I'm sorry, ma'am, it is against your store policy for law enforcement to come into your store with their service weapons. Try and make it best you can. Good luck!"

If liberals were meant to think the Lord would’ve given them brains. They continue to justify our contempt.

“It’s not just an attack on this individual officer, it’s not just an attack on this agency. It’s an attack on law enforcement in general,” Sheriff Darren Campbell said.

Piss off, Darren. Your employee was treated the same way any other armed citizen would be treated. Welcome to reality, buttmunch!

Next time Kay Jewelers calls to report an armed robbery, tell them to call back when the armed robbers are off the property and file a report at the local LEO office. No officers will be available to respond since your company policy prohibits an armed officer on the premises.

Prepaid means ... prepaid as in it is HIS property and not the stores. Thus deliverable upon demand. Once it is “paid” the store can no longer apply additional criteria.

Another option would have to demand a refund for failure to deliver.

Sorry, but they have every right, as private property owner to NOT allow weapons on their premises.

Sorry, that is not entirely correct. The area in question is open to the public and is classified as public access, Much like a sidewalk. Areas that are open to the public are not fully "private property". Now if the store were to restrict access to this area, then they can fully enforce their policy.

“Not sure a boycott...”

Agree. It may sound kind of different, but I ran fitness facilities in the military and no one, unless on duty and during an action, was allowed to bring a weapon into the facilities. And this was in the military where that’s what we did. And yes, I did stop some and required them to stow their weapons. During a few times one soldier was required to stay with the stacked weapons while others got in their P.T.

Remember back when “America was great”, and storekeepers loved having armed police frequent their establishments? It kept down crime. MAGA.

[Jack Hammer]

Can you say a-s-s-h-o-l-e-s?

Yes, I knew you could.

[Maskot]

When I worked in banking, their policy was that you could leave your gun in your car. 🙄 That policy effectively neutered the reasons for carrying. I ignored that policy every day. Every. Damn. Day! And upped it with a knife strapped to my calf. How would they know what I have on me? Thank God I never had to use either but if I had, I’m sure I would’ve lost my job. Didn’t deter me. My life is more important than any job any day. I continue to carry regardless of a “sign” or a “policy”. That’s why it’s called concealed, dumass liberals!!

[Maskot]

Are you kidding me???? That employee did NOT misunderstand the “policy”. It was deliberate and you know it. How many more examples do you need? They can’t pass gun confiscation legal so individual lefty companies are doing it by stealth.

[Chickensoup]

and you know that why?

[Tomato lover]

If I was the fiancee I would want to cancel the sale and buy the ring from somewhere my future Husband would be welcome. I would never see the ring as a symbol of our love but as the shameful way he was treated. Plus, it is Kay jewelry and that is unoriginal to start with. Better to buy from a store that carries vintage rings. Just my opinion, I know.

[Maskot]

Because a thinking person would never toss a uniformed police officer, gun included, out of their business. Only virtue signaling lefties do that. Don’t be obtuse

1. Private property owner has every right to require no fire arms - independent of who is the employer

2. Stupid of such a property owner who will likely be asking for a response during a robbery

North Carolina. Never heard of that particular city but NC has been eaten up with stinking liberals of late. College town? Are these people ever going to be of value? Or are they always going to be typified and defined by their abject stupidity? Inquiring minds, and all.

Easy there cowboy ! Not All of NC is a demonratcommiescumbag stronghold. Yes the “higher edumakayshun” are their own little H€££ as are the RDU and Charlotte areas. Trust Me, when you leave those locations out NC is no demonratcommiescumbag location.

Statesville is The Iredell County Seat. Statesville is about 20 miles North of Mooresville (Race City USA) and most of the NASCAR Teams are based here (We are Residents of Mooresville) as well is Penske Racing Shops for NASCAR both Cup and Busch, Indy Car and IMSA Sportscars. Several NHRA Teams. JRM Junior Motorsports (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)

Mooresville is about 35 miles North of Charlotte. The demonratcommiescumbags held the convention for 2016, where the demonratcommiescumbags ran up a HUGE BILL AND SKIPPED TOWN!!!

The upcoming Republican Convention for 2020 will be in Charlotte.

And just Incase you missed this:

Mooresville K9 officer shot, killed during routine traffic stop
