Got fired!

[Special T]

2 points I want to bring up.
1 Businesses are in a catch 22 if they allow firearms then they become liable if something goes wrong. EVEN if they are able to prove they are not liable for some incident it still costs them $ and lawsuits chase the deepest pocket book. They would choose the company over Joe 6 pack every chance they get. I would also point out that damages for lawsuits are not proportional to % of  fault. They are proportional to the ability to pay. So the company could have 10% of the Fault but pay 90% of the judgement.

2 You likely disclosed that your gun was stolen. Even if you didn't and they found out from the Cops your still SOL because you signed the document.

Hopefully you can find another job soon that pays good that is less concerned with this. However if you do find a new job that  has you sign similar paperwork a truck safe is cheep insurance to keep your gun and your job.

Im sorry for your very crappy day.

Who did you work for?

[CoryTDF]

How many of you are reading this right now at work and have a firearm in your vehicle?

[huntingaddiction]

Probably a lot Corey.  Even where I was working there are a crap ton. 

[huntingaddiction]

Special T for now I am going to keep who I worked for to myself although I am pretty sure if any of them were on here they would know!  It was a big company.

Vehicle? HA! Mine is on my hip.

In my desk.

[Russ McDonald]

In my desk.

you work at home that is why. 

I work with a bunch of guys that carry but very few will have them in their trucks that I know of. Where I work state laws don't mean crap.  Company policies are company policies.  If you on their property you have to abide by them.  I am sorry you lost your job and it sucks for sure.  PM me I can maybe point you in the direction of some jobs.

OK throw out the employee handbook for a minute.  In Washington state when it come to concealed weapons it does not matter.  They cannot be more strict than the state.  It is in the States Preemption!

Yea they can.

[huntingaddiction]

Ok so we will just say the company is right.  What does bother me about this a little but is how many of you seem like you would just back down.  There are people all over the country doing this.  They are winning.  We are winning the battle to keep the second amendment.  That also means we can't let it slack.  I have never seen so many people stand up for what you all know is wrong.  Legally I did nothing wrong.  I was actually the victim.  We can't back down more and more judges are ruling in our favor.  I love the quote “Pry my guns from my cold dead hands!". It is exactly who I am.  If I can I will fight this.

Bummer deal for sure, but i have a question, did this happen on the base? Just currious as i am friends with the Chief MA and he just brought this up in conversation yesterday about a contractors vehicle being broken into and a weapon being stolen. 

Not saying its you by any means, but if it is, a firearm UNDECLARED on any military installation is against federal law period.  And anyone with any military service knows this.


You knew of the companies standing on firearms on thier premisis prior to your employment and accepted the employment under thier conditions. You violated the terms of employment plain and simple.


This is no different really than a business telling you to leave because you are carrying. It is PRIVATE property, they have that right.

No trying to be a jerk or flame you but this situation and bad outcome, could have easily been avoided.

Yeah, but it's great telling people I never have fewer than 7 guns and 3K rounds of ammo at work. People will actually move further away from you when you tell them that. I like the effect.

No offense but you blatantly disregarded company policy and in this state companies can pretty much make up any policy that they want as long as it doesn't discriminate against gender, religion, race etc… There is nothing here to fight. You signed a document stating that you would abide by company policies and then you ignored them. You did not do anything illegal, you simply ignored the private companies policies. The only real way to fight this is to make sure that your next job is a pro 2A company.

No not on base I am not trying to go to prison.  I did know about the building I did not know about the parking lot.
