Brown Lives Matter

[DOK]

You'd carry a weapon and risk losing your job over a phone and a wallet?

If someone points a gun at me they better be willing to die. I do not take that threat lightly, nor should anyone. If I delivered in a high crime area as the OP I would carry. Unless he has to go through security at ups to get into the building, that is a different story.

And if anyone does try to rob you, you'd be fired, good luck with that.

No. I'd carry a concealed weapon.

We had a driver get fired for walking through the metal detector with a handgun in his backpack. He claimed he forgot it was in there after he went target shooting over the weekend. Management actually tried to save his job, but it was too soon after the Birmingham shootings.

You'd be fired faster than any employee in company history.

Or your life?

Some people scare easy I guess.

Take a big magnet and put it underneath the truck
Stick your gun to it before you get in at night
Grab it after you get through the gate

What could go wrong

The public outcry would get my job back, along with my lawyer.

No lawyer in the world could get your job back. You're delusional.

You're probably right. So I'm glad I'm not in any area with such high crime where I'd have to contemplate such a decision. Feel bad for the OP and his coworkers, can't imagine the stress.

After thinking about it for a minute you're probably correct. Not a good idea. So good luck OP.

Ideally we'd live in a world where our 2nd amendment rights were protected in the workplace.... but the world we live in is lawsuit trigger happy, and it's just too big a risk for the employer.

I'm permitted to carry openly in my state, on my own time.
When I'm at work, my best option is being cooperative and handing over the keys.
I'm rarely in bad areas anyways and I feel very fortunate for that. Also delivering in high income areas has other perks, likes lots of blondes and spandex. Delivering in the hood sucks, props to the guys who have to do it on a regular basis.

I passed on a route in the hood when the old driver told me I couldn't wear my "chains" or carry my wallet on me, friend that ........

Mr.T is that you?

 

[Dr.Brownz]

lol...It's OK, you can admit to being wrong. Let me guess, you're voting for the Socialist, Donald Trump?

It's all a sham. Nothing will change no matter who wins

I was beginning to worry about you.

Now if we could only get all gun owners to think.

 

[iamupser]

Actually it was 127k, forgot the hours, I put a pic of my check in some thread around here.

You mean this 1?

 

[Indecisi0n]

If someone pulls a gun on me he better be prepared to smell the in my pants.

Not all gun owners are stupid. The idiots just get more attention. Owning one requires training and common sense responsibility.

I've had no issues with mine and I have kids. It's all about mindset.

I get your point, but there have been plenty of accidents as well when everything is followed to a T. Guns being as dangerous as they are, built to kill, do-overs may not exist. Here's to no accidents!
