I can address that. My late father was a special deputy working for a private security company. Company policy said ANY firearms he carried must be approved by his supervisor AND he had to qualify with said firearm before he could carry it on duty.
And he did just that. He told his boss he wanted to carry his .380 as "Plan B", it was inspected, registered in his file, and approved (just like his service weapon), and a couple weeks later he went to the range with that month's new hires and those doing their annual qualifications. The following day he was carrying a backup weapon.
Sounds like your buddy just didn't follow proper protocols. (as stupid as they may appear on the surface)
Also, I'm getting a kick out of this thread. I'm lucky enough to work for a company that actually amended the employee handbook to tell us outright that we were specifically allowed to follow the law as written! So its not just law, but also company policy. ROCKIN!
