Words nearly fail me.ForbidInjustice wrote:My brother-in-law is a manager at the Auto Zone nearby, and due to these recent events, the GM is revising the policy for this store to allow their employees to open carry a loaded firearm while they are on duty. The condition is that they CANNOT draw their weapon, because in his words, "if they were to shoot someone, it would fall back on Auto Zone and the company would be held liable."
If criminals enter the store and injure or kill an employee, Auto Zone is certain to be on the receiving end of a lawsuit, possible a multi-million dollar one.
If it is known that the employees of a store are armed, criminals attempting to rob that store are going to adopt the strategy of shooting first and shooting again.
