Pizza delivery driver gets the best of an armed robber

I will say that if it is publicised company policy to prohibit employees from carrying whilst delivering to all sorts of places, I can see how it might make the company an even more enticing target.
 
That's great she won't be fired.

When I delivered pizza I was explicitly told (even though I was 18) that I couldn't carry a gun on the job. I didn't ever ask to do so; nor could I legally have. They just said it to me.

So I carried a baseball bat in my car; and of course a knife in my right pocket.
 
So Papa Johns expects their delivery people to use their own vehicles to make the deliveries and be unarmed so the delivery people can be in fear for their life and loss of their own property when they work for the company making deliveries. Who in their right mind would work for them and do deliveries?
 
These policies have come under scrutiny before. Pizza Hut has fired several employees who have been in similar positions.

We have to consider the fact that corporations do their best to limit liability. They fear the consequences of an employee doing something unwise or illegal with a weapon, so they attempt to cover themselves by prohibiting the carry of firearms.
 
Mr James Pond:
What is a fly-by post? If you fly at least 500' away/above any people, houses etc, it is legal if flying in good VFR conditions.

By the way, your taste in handguns (and women) is impeccable.
Hoping to spot a post-WW2 German PPK n .380 (a "post-war German PPK" as such normally means French mfg/), which is very hard to find, especially in west TN.

A fly-by post is one where the poster simply posts a link and a short comment with no description and no original content (opinion, analysis, etc.). The moderators often close those threads. I think that is because of concerns about copyright trolls claiming copyright violations. There was a wave of that a couple of years ago.
 
how would this work for defense from civil suit if they specified that all employees must follow state law regarding carry of of weapons and use of force.

this would separate the company from any employee violating the law in regards to use of force and carrying of weapons. they don't condone nor restrict, they just follow the state's laws.
 
I've never really thought about it, but I wonder how these policies would stand up to legal scrutiny in my state where your vehicle is considered an extension of your home. If you are using your own personal vehicle for delivery, then it would seem that the policy wouldn't withstand a good challenge. Of course, when you go to the door for delivery, I suppose you would have to leave the firearm in the car...and I'm not sure how much that would actually protect you from a violent act or threat.
