I walk/bike/skate through the worst part of the city at the worst time of night. I had a guy try and mug me, two guys and a gal try and steal my bike from under me, and a guy try and steal my bag right off my back in the past 3 months and I'm a large man--e.g., I wouldn't even try to friend with me. These crackheads are relentless and will try or do anything.

It would be foolish for me to not carry. When the first guy tried mugging me he wound up with a broken face but if he had the gun he said he did I'd probably be dead. Sorry UPS but friend your policy.

It'll never come out during work, it is always secured and nobody else ever sees it. But fluck me if I ever need it en route to work and my last dying breaths are "at least I.. upheld.. the UPS.. policy".

That was a horrible and senseless act carried out by a low life coward. He targeted people who had no way to escape.
Killings happen in bad areas all the time. You don't expect it to happen while you are attending church.

You should. You should expect it anywhere.
Carry everywhere you go.

From the "UPS Code Of Business Conduct"

"We also prohibit the unauthorized possession and/or use of weapons by any employee while at work, on company property, or while on company business."

The UPS Code of Business Conduct can be viewed by anyone at ups.com.

Answered my question!

Keyword being "unauthorized"

Why? Just curious.

Health reasons, and the wife is the moneymaker right now so she gets the car, not the guy making 50 bucks a day.

 

[soberups]

Wow. That is some kind of messed up. I live in the wild wild west, but thankfully the area I am delivering in... is nice. You never know though, so many crazies out there.

Consult the Western Region Supplement for specific language concerning suspension and termination.
There are 7 offenses that allow the company to immediately terminate you without first going thru progressive discipline (warning letter, then suspension then termination.) Possession of an otherwise legal firearm is not on that list.
Yes, company policy prohibits possession of weapons. It also prohibits handing out dog biscuits, the wearing of torn uniforms, or visible tattoos. But the existence of a policy doesn't automatically give the company the right to fire you for violating that policy.

 

[Big Package]

I didn't know exceptions existed in UPS policy.

Yeah it takes a real man to murder a two-year-old sitting in a church pew.

Lose the purple hair

It matches the lipstick. Things gotta match.

 

[bbsam]

LOL. Seriously. I need to know.

You can. But nobody else. Arrive at work Monday morning and brandish your weapon for all to see, because hey let's face it, you've got a golden ticket!

 

[OrionsBitch]

Can you imagine if you had that guy as your proctologist?! Jesus look at that finger lol
