Re: Carrying at work & employer liability

Worth visiting customers in a company vehicle (I have been doing this for 24 years) so it's not as if we are sitting in a shop with customers who come in and out. I have "CCW Safe" insurance but there was still the question of civil liability on the company so I was curious about how the laws read. It's VERY hard to search for this information and I am not even sure if employer liability is addressed. I feel like I have read something about it before but it may have been some other state."

Just wondering did you ask "CCW Safe" for input ?
I would thing a civil lawsuit would be more likely to occur due to a vehicle accident than self defense. Anytime a company vehicle is involved, people get VERY greedy

If something went down and I had to use my weapon in self defense could the company be dragged into a civil suit or is that strictly a personal matter? Are there Texas laws to protect the company from being sued?
This is why you have insurance, to cover potential losses. There is no insurance to bring anyone back from the dead.

Comes down to which is more important - the business or the family members?
:iagree: WOW! That is exactly what I was going to say! Word for word! Well said! Mic drop, time to go to work!
