Convenience Store Fired for Self-defense

[Seymour Flops]

I think that this is in Oklahoma City.



She's pretty average looking, but the story makes her seem much hotter. She should move to Texas. I'd be happy to sponsor her until she gets on her feet.

Burned her fingers by firing a gun? Probably never taught correctly. I'll be happy to give her some private training.

 

[Seymour Flops]

As far as the company firing her, well I disagree, but that is their right. I assume they have a policy that says an employee is not allowed to have a weapon on duty.

I guess they need a policy that customers are not allowed to assault employees.

This woman should have gotten a pay increase and a promotion instead of being fired.

Off topic, but did you notice the fuel price? $2.37! Wow, in WA it is at least $1.22 above that at the cheapest stations. Sure wish I could get fuel for that.

What is it, a high state tax? Our prices in Texas are about twenty cents more than that, I believe, but the biggest percent of the cost is taxes.

Yeah, commie WA state. They slapped the Inslee carbon tax on gas here and made gas prices here compete with CA and HI for the highest price in the nation. We really notice here on the east side because we can slip into ID, which doesn't have really low prices but they still beat WA prices by about 75 cents a gallon.

That's 7-11 policy. Do not resist. All of the employees know that.

Yes, Seymour you are a lion...

It is the common stance for most big retailers these days. Loss prevention folks for grocery stores and big box stores are told to follow the thief to the parking lot, get their license number and call the cops. There have been a few cases in this area where the employees have been fired for attempting to prevent a thief from leaving.

DHS should hire her. They know she will pull the trigger under pressure.

The employer can be sued if an employee is injured during a robbery. That's why they are told to comply with a robber. Their insurance requires it.

Keep in mind that getting fired from a 7-11 job is not exactly the end of the world.

Still, I hope she fights it and wins. In effect, 7-11 is saying that you work here at your own risk, and sooner or later, either some crank will kill you or you will be fired. She should win on sheer 2A rights.

If I ever worked a job like that, I would not take it unless I had written approval to carry my own gun, carry their gun, and that there would be a guard to watch over me and the store.

What 7-11 is basically saying is that the lives of their employees are worth less than nothing to them. They want muggers and robbers to feel safe in their stores.

I guess you wouldn't take a lot of jobs then, because there are more that restrict firearm possession at work than allow them. LOL, I worked for a total of 5 employers in my 45+ yr. career and NONE of them allowed possession of a weapon on their premises. These were civilian as well as gov't contractors.

Well he was choking her to death so **** their policy.

Well, I'm retired, but the very last job I worked you could not even enter the building without going through a checkpoint with armed guards and xray scanners.

Prior to that, I worked a job where we all took handguns to work, but we stored them in our lockers, we did not carry on the job.

In between those two, yes, in that job, we did not carry, but we had little reason to expect to need to.

BRAVO ZULU LADY.

Unfortunately true. In an age where courage and common sense shrinks quickly when corporate lawyers get together, it's an inevitability.

I Ubered for a couple of years when I first retired. At one point, I was involved in an accident and was in the back seat of the patrolman's car as he wrote the accident report.
At that time, Ohio law compelled me to notify an officer if stopped whether or not I was carrying a pistol per my concealed carry permit.
I told him I was not carrying.
"Why the hell not?" he said.
"Well, because it's against Uber's policy," I said.
"If I were you, that's one policy I'd ignore. Wouldn't you rather be alive and unemployed by them than follow their rules and be dead?"
It made a lot of sense.
And from that point on, I always carried, rules or no rules.

I have noticed when store clerks ware guns they don't get robbed, unless the one robbing them know they are a democrat.
