A Good Take on the Pizza Hut Delivery Guy

[Lochinvar]

Here is a pretty good take on the story of the Pizza Hut delivery guy who was suspended for carrying...and saving himself...while on company time.

An interesting angle from the "Pajama Media" link:

"It is a weird world out there. The vast majority of the times you go to answer your door it involves no danger. But sometimes.....well...you've read the papers. Attacks, assaults, rape, home invasions, etc. It does happen.

Now with that in mind, what if Pizza Hut announced a new company policy stating that, henceforth, all of their drivers before showing up on your doorstep and getting you to open your door to them, had to pass a background check that confirmed the following:

The driver had never been convicted of a felony.
The driver must not be currently charged with the commission of a Class A or Class B misdemeanor or an offense under Texas Penal Code, §42.01, or of a felony under an information or indictment.
The driver must not be a fugitive from justice for a felony or a Class A or Class B misdemeanor.
The driver must not be chemically dependent.
The driver must not, in the five years preceding the date of application, have been convicted of a Class A or Class B misdemeanor or an offense under Texas Penal Code.
The driver must not be currently restricted by or subject to a court order that restrains the applicant from injuring, harassing, stalking, or threatening the applicant's spouse or intimate partner, or the child of the applicant, the applicant's spouse, or intimate partner.
The driver must not, in the 10 years preceding the date of application, have been adjudicated as having engaged in delinquent conduct violating a penal law of the grade of felony.
The driver has submitted a full set of fingerprints to both the state and the FBI in order that a full background check be done.
Now who wouldn't feel better about their spouse or teen-aged daughter opening the front door to a guy who has met all of those requirements? I know I would.

And if she is opening that front door to someone who has a valid concealed carry permit that is exactly what she is doing."
