What a fabulous opportunity for some African-American Citizen to start a pizza business HQ'd right in one of these "High-Crime-Hoods."
Domino's won't deliver? Donato's won't deliver? Great! No competition! I'll even throw in a free slogan:
He's the driver y'all won't be stoppin'
He's bringin' y'all the cheese and the toppin'
Night an Day he deliver where the Honky driver be afraid to go
'Cause now we be sprinklin' our own Oregano!
Now I see the situation. Where I am, I have a concealed-carry license. When I have my gun, it is on my person, either in my pocket or in a holster under my shirt. To find it, somebody would have to pat me down, which I would not permit unless it was a cop and I had no choice
Once the manager found it, he probably had no choice, particularly if there was another witness to the discovery. If the manager knows you are armed, then the company is liable if they continue to employ you with that knowledge and you have to defend yourself some dark night
The best solution is to have your firearm in deep concealment while you are around people who you cannot afford to reveal your armed status to, and then move the gun to be more easily accessible once you are on the road
