Sorry. I couldn't resist. Badges don't grant special privileges.
In the eyes of Texas law, they do.

Kay's and all the other places that post 30.06/7 signs and then try to prohibit peace officers from carrying will have the likelihood of an expensive education if HB 2164 is signed:
https://capitol.texas.gov/BillLookup/Hi ... ill=HB2164
An establishment serving the public that violates this article is subject to a civil penalty in the amount of $1,000 for each violation. The attorney general may sue to collect a civil penalty under this section. Money collected under this subsection shall be deposited in the state treasury to the credit of the general revenue fund.

It was an easy scapegoat to fire the manager after a social media notation. So Kay Jewelers has an anti-gun policy, the manager follows orders and gets fired. Kay Jewelers then looks good. Not to me.
:iagree: No need to fire the guy IMO. I am sure that the former manager would change his behavior if the owners reminded him of the correct policy.
Given the ludicrousness of this incident, the manager may have already had a track record of midjudgment and keeping the cop out was the boulder that broke the camel's back.
Raise school kids with a 0 tolerance policy towards weapons and no understanding of the law and this is exactly the result you get: Misinformed mindless zealots who will enforce "company policy" without any critical thinking.
