We have become a nation of wimps, save for the pharmacist.

Beck talked about this the other day. Apparently CVS cited OSHA rules as one of their reasons for firing the guy.

Think about that for a minute.

Apparently its not an occupational hazard to get shot at work but it is a hazard to shoot at a robber.

Dear Walgreens ..... we don’t shop at your stores anymore.

Next !

Sue OSHA and Walgreens!

You are under NO OBLIGATION to be a victim!

“Oh, so you’d be happier with 5 dead employees and customers, because being vulnerable is your idea of “Occupational Safety”???

Work at walgreens and take your life in your hands.These companies figure that the lambs that work for them are expendable because of scumbag bottom feeder liars would sue for killing a sumbitch that really needed killing.

Here in Florida he’d be fired as well... For missing.

I was laughing at the VIDEO in the link where the robber actually got caught by a cop in the line. Unbelievable.

Damn, if it is not liberals being busy bodies and trying to run other peoples business it is the republicans.

Walgreens is a very liberal organization. It sponsored the Gay Olympics in Chicago a few years ago.

[smokingfrog]

Well, at least he’s alive to tell the story.

They're outraged by what Walgreen has done. They're talking boycott, saying they will take their business to CVS or Wal-Mart."

FYI - Walgreen owns CVS. That's why you always see them together, on opposite corners.

I didn’t see any mention of the Federal Gov’s part in this except here:

Exerpt: Yet, despite all the evidence about the benefits from owning guns for protection and the extremely law-abiding, problem free behavior of permit holders, the Federal OSHA regulations forbid employers letting employees carry guns with them in the workplace. The notion is that banning guns will prevent gun-related workplace injuries, but gun bans don’t work out as government regulators would like. Customers with permitted concealed handguns are allowed to take their guns with them into Walgreens, but when this crime occurred there weren’t any customers in the store. Walgreens’ policy means that the only people with guns inside of their stores might very well be criminals.

*****
If “Federal OSHA regulations forbid employers letting employees carry guns with them in the workplace” Congress needs to step in and change those regulations. National civil rights groups like SAS, GOA, JPFO, and the NRA need to be all over this.
