Few details, but it seems like the good guys won this one.

As a reward the employee will be fired for violating the Company's No Gun Policy. I wish purple was required.

Unfortunately that was my first thought as well. At least he and his co-workers are still breathing.

A big F-U to any company that would rather see their employees murdered than defending themselves and each other.

 

[HoughMade]

Well let's at least see if they have a "no gun" policy before we draw and quarter them.

This viewpoint is pretty much standard in any corporation. It is far cheaper to replace murdered employees than it is for any company with deep pockets to defend against the inevitable lawsuit if your employee kills an attacker.

+1 for the good guy.

They do have a no gun policy. I work at PH and it's in the handbook....not to say it gets followed or anything. Esp by all the male drivers and a couple servers.

 

[Ddillard]

Good on 'em! At least the individual and coworkers are alive and breathing.

Has already happened in the past. Employee takes out an armed attacker, loses job for violating no gun policy. How sad.

"I was looking for a job when I found this one." No job exists--especially a minimum wage one--that is worth more than one's right to defend their life and limb

Most of the time when someone is fired for this they just fade away into obscurity because they don't make an issue of it. I've also seen where the person was either offered their old job back or another company stepped in and hired them when the firing has gotten some publicity. Since the news has picked this up it will draw a bit of attention if he is fired.

I general I don't think people, even those ambivalent about guns, think it's right to fire someone who defended themselves and their co-workers against an armed attack. At least I hope most people think this way, it's a sad day when they don't.

Kinda ****ty that they didn't let him use the company gun. Hope they reimburse him for his ammo.

I don't spend my money @ PH. Been 30 yrs since I was in one, I don't like they way they do business. Employee will probably be "released", but is alive today, so good for him.

At least he won't have to pay them back for the money taken..............LIKE AT DOMINO'S PIZZA!

I usually stick with existing threads and didn't notice a new one

Why did he have a gun? So he could shoot forcible felons in the head. Why else would someone have a gun?
