Time to re-evalute that whimpy 9mm, I wouldn't get caught dead with it, pun intended.

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?.....

I agree with you.
Way too many employers have these stupid policies, which are a result of court systems not holding miscreants responsible for their actions. The simple fact is, a company's policy is easily ignored and they can't search your person(bags can be checked) so no one is really protected. The person who means harm will ignore the policy AND ignore the law on murder or robbery. Meanwhile the rest of us will be disarmed in the face of such an act or will be fired when we are a FRIGGING HERO!
The use of private regulations is the way the Second Amendment will be made useless. Combine it with the increased technology and soon everywhere you go will be scanning you for weapons and our rights will be lost forever.

May I suggest a .40 S&W COR-BON 135 gr with a 96%+ "One Shot Stopping Power". That's what I load up my S&W "Shorty .40" with. And if not, I just go for head shots.

We had a similar thing happen here a few years ago at Papa Johns. A friend of mine was held up and he shot the punk. Didnt kill him, but grazed the side of his head. (They wouldnt have tried it if they had seen him outside of the car. Hes about 610, 400# at the time.) Papa Johns fired him. They said it was their policy for the drivers to not carry weapons. Several people, including myself wrote letters stating that if he was not rehired, they would never eat there again. I also worked there at one point, and stated that at no time was I made aware of their anti-self-defense-who-cares-about-our-drivers-no-weapons policy. He was rehired due to the publicity of the outcry.
He was then refired about a month later after the ruckus died down.

A fine choice. I favor a Charter Arms Bulldog loaded with Cor-Bon 165 gr. JHP's. Very nice. You can't go wrong with either.

One recent evening, as I arrived at a competing pizza chain's carryout-only location, one of the delivery guys was just coming back from a run.
He spotted the pro-2nd Amendment vanity tag on my car and called out,
"Hey, man! I really like your tag!
And proceeded to briefly raise his shirt to reveal the semi he was carrying in an inside-the-waistband holster.
I thanked him, grinned and patted the small bulge on my hip twice as I turned and walked into the store.

"Honeycutt, who has a valid license to carry a firearm, said he planned to buy another handgun and go back to work with a different pizza business"
Was his handgun confiscated? Did he not like his handguns performance? Did I miss something in the article?

PH is not part of Pepsi anymore, but the idea is correct. Back in 1994, when I first started working with Frito-Lay (still a part of Pepsi), one of the drivers who took me on my initial training was killed in a robbery. He was unarmed. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I advise waiting for the whole story before determining it was self-defense. The media rarely ever gets the story straight. If you wish to FReep Pizza Hut, do it for their policy of forbidding their employees from carrying weapons. I have prosecuted several robberies that targeted pizza delivery persons. I think a person would be crazy to do that job unarmed (or be a clerk at a convenience store).
To: d-back
I have a carry permit. If my employer new that I was armed I would expect to get fired if I brought by weapon into the office. He knew the rules BEFORE ACCEPTING EMPLOYMENT WITH PIZZA HUT. He was fired for breaking the company policy.

This guy had, and has, a God-given inalienable right to defend his life. And he exercised it. Good for him. He does not, however, have a God-given inalienable right to work for Pizza Hut.

Agreed. I upgraded from a Browning hi-power some years ago to the old reliable 1911 .45 ACP with Hornady Custom 200Gr JHP XTP

Pizza Hut hasn't been part of PepsiCo since 1997.

"If Pizza Hut knowingly allows delivery people to pack heat, they are open to law suits."
Very true. They would also be vulnerable if they were willfully blind about it. However, the counter to that would be to train them properly if they chose to carry and to make sure they always had concealed carry permits. If potential robbers knew some were armed and trained in self defense, all would get some degree of protection. Call them "Pizza Marshals."
