Pizza Hut is off the list

Not that I eat their unhealthy food anyway but I will no longer dine at Pizza Hut even occasionally. If you fire someone for defending himself you deserve to lose your business. The right to defend one’s own existence trumps every other thing.
A pizza delivery driver, who police said defended himself by shooting a robber who attacked him, was fired from his job on Friday.
Gun bans do not work. Telling law abiding citizens they cannot defend themselves is idiotic, and I reserve the right to ignore such rules. I have in the past at my own discretion and will again in the future. My life is more important than some idiot’s rules. I will not allow faceless strangers in some headquarters to determine my fate.
It is completely moral to take the life of another in defense of your own when the other initiates violent aggression. Telling someone they are not allowed to act when someone is threatening them is unconscionable.

Thanks for the update Trevor. I’d been wondering what happened in this case, and this is criminal.

I’m not familiar with this story. Was he fired for what he did to defend himself or is it against corporate policy to carry a concealed firearm while on company time?

The latter, Dave. He was fired for carrying a gun.
