According to 7-11 policy he wasn’t even allowed to carry a Swiss Army knife in his pocket!

Most corporations absolutely forbid their employees from defending themselves or having anything that might be used as a weapon and say that any employee violating those policies will be teminated and prosecuted.

As long as we allow disarmament on the grounds that the corporation's private? property rights are more important than the natural right of self-defense clerks and other workers will be executed by vicious criminals.

I hope the family sues 7-11 for a $100 million and win.7-11 and others claim their rules provide a safe working enviroment as mandated by OSHA (which demands no-weapons rules in the workplace) when it is obvious such rules only make the poor worker a soft target while the corporate types enjoy the safety of their gated communities and guarded office buildings.

Wherever 7/11 Headquarters are, they should be forced to remove any and all security and see how it feels.

His family should sue the pants of 7-11 for denying him the ability to defend himself!
