All the more reason to be proactive and email the the employer letting them know you support a change to their policy allowing their employees to be armed to defend themselves. You would be surprised at how much public input and perception will influence a company in their methods and procedures.austinrealtor wrote:While I do applaud this owner for how he's treated his employee(s) after the fact and believe he is as sincere as he seems, I can't help but wonder what would've happened if this employee had followed company policy and been unarmed?
Perhaps this is why the boss is being so generous - perhaps he is a genuinely good person who feels remorse for an idiotic policy he probably enacted without much critical thought, likely at the urging of an insurance provider.
If he truly does the right thing and removes the "no guns" policy from his employee handbook, then he will be the shining example for RKBA work policies.
But if he keep the "no guns" policy after this incident, then he just returns his employees to a dangerous status quo of having to make the "Catch 22" decision of breaking company policy or being vulnerable for 8+ hours a day just to collect a paycheck.
And the trick in this case is don't let them know you are in Texas as they are a West Coast chain. All they will see is input from a potential customer.
