This of course is an issue that has come up many times over the years from pizza delivery men to cab drivers to convenience store clerks. There isn’t a publicly traded company of ANY significant size outside the firearms industry that allows employees to carry a weapon on the
premises. It stems from the fear....and it’s a logical
fear....that if the employee uses the gun for any reason and
anyone other than a criminal is harmed the company is liable. And in America with all the lawyers one can bet that
such an occurrence would cost a company money. The problem is that the legal system has given employers a pass on the issue. They have stated that to avoid such a liability an
company may disarm their employees. But the courts and legislatures refuse to address the other half of the issue.
That being when an entity refuses to allow citizens to protect themselves they need to accept the responsibility for that defense. That means that a company that disarms it’s employees needs to be held financially and if necessary
criminally liable for not taking ALL the available steps
to protect those employees while they are working. Right now companies get to have their cake and eat it also...and
that isn’t right. We need to be pushing legislatures HARD to make them hold employers liable for the safety of the
people they employ if they insist on them being disarmed.
That is where our efforts need to go. Once a major company has to shell out millions because they disarmed employees and someone then went postal and killed a few they will
RAPIDLY reevaluate their position on the matter.
Before allowing more lawyers more excuses to sue the remaining productive sectors in America, perhaps we should consider the following fact: If you don’t like the job and its rules, do not take the job.
Despite the best efforts of commies, Libturd lawyers, and commie Mass Media, THERE IS NO “RIGHT” TO A JOB ! ! ! !
In a free society, a willing employer and a willing employee agree on work performed for money and/or benefits, whatever.
If Pizza-Pricks-R-Us won’t let you drive & deliver armed, don’t work for the Pricks.
As for the hypothetical case of a Pizza-Pricks-R-Us employee ‘going postal’ on a customer over the tip, IMHO only if that ‘gone postal’ employee had displayed behavior such that a “reasoned and prudent person” would have concluded there was a risk of “Gone Postal Syndrome” would the employer be liable.
Evil exists, and allowing lawyers to destroy America will not stop evil people acting out their inner demon and doing evil things.
I not that if the hypothetical customer of Pizza-Pricks-R-Us had chosen to be armed, the armed employee would not have been able to commit evil on a helpless victim.
A Pox On Shysters!
Wrap thyself in the Second Amendment and gun totin’ evil persons can be dealt with.
No lawyer needed, either.
May I note in closing that the above suggestion also makes more lawyers get an honest and productive job.
Amen. That's what I've been saying for years.
When their insurance costs go up for being anti-gun. They'll stop being anti-gun. Right now feel-goodism is free for them. It shouldn't be.
