He should be fired. The company policy says that employees are not allowed to carry guns. If he didn't get fired the company would have to allow all employees the ability to register for a carry permit.

I agree that the gun saved his life, but he should not be rewarded with special privledges afterward.

Who's looking for "special privileges"? This guy had, and has, a God-given inalienable right to defend his life. He exercised it, and now Pizza Hut is firing him for it.

If that's not worth freeping, then nothing is. Until the right to keep and bear arms and right to self-defense routinely bring out howling harpies like us (the way the "right" to engage in homosexual sex does), those of us who support the Second Amendment and the RKBA will remain second-class citizens.

Quislings who side with Pizza Hut on this one are no friends of liberty.

No, we need to force pizza Hut to change its stupid policy by making it plain that we would rather shop elsewhere.

If he didn't get fired the company would have to allow all employees the ability to register for a carry permit.

And wouldn't this be the best outcome for delivery employees everywhere?

you said"He should be fired. The company policy says that employees are not allowed to carry guns. If he didn't get fired the company would have to allow all employees the ability to register for a carry permit. " And the down side is?.....

The only special privilege he had afterward is to still be alive. Just what special privileges are you talking about?

"If he didn't get fired the company would have to allow all employees the ability to register for a carry permit."

The company has no say about any person registering for a carry permit.

The company has no say about any person having/maintaining a carry permit.

The company should not have the ability to infringe on a constitutional right of the employee.

We need to stop allowing arbitrary institutions to usurp our rights. If the employer does not want you using force to protect their property or money, that is their choice.

When the employer believes that they can tell you not to defend yourself to protect your LIFE, that is a problem.

What if the company policy said "no blacks" or "no women" or "no senior citizens".

Screw "company policy".

[Flying Circus]

I am with you. No guns was a condition of his employment. He should be satisfied that he wasn't caught with the gun before and was able to use it when he needed it.

As far as I know, employees can still register for a CCW. They just can't pack on company time. What makes you think PepsiCo forbids them to carry at all?

Sounds like "Good Thing" to me.

[Thumper1960]

I disagree. PizzaHut violates Constitutional protections when they forbid a citizen from carrying a firearm in his own vehicle. And, of course, it does make sense to boycott PepsiCo for their policies. People in PepsiCo's corporate structure came up with the policy. Not liberal judges or Demoncrat politicians.

The deliveryman is better off not working for a company that would never stand behind him. A company that willingly puts its employees at mortal risk for profit is no good employer. PepsiCo proves that it deserves neither the consumers money, nor the consumers loyalty.

I think the surviving family of the next PH deliveryman that gets killed should sue PH for putting them in dangerous situations but not allowing them to defend themselves.

My nephew works for a large construction company in S.E. Michigan and because their reps travel into Detroit alot, the owner paid all the applicable training and application fees associated with obtaining a CPL in Michigan for any of them who wished to take advantage of the offer.
