WAS being the operative word, of course, now that I've read this.
Walgreen's: ATTENTION ALL BAD GUYS! ATTENTION ALL BAD GUYS! NO ONE IN OUR STORES ARE ARMED. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ROB AT WILL WITHOUT WORRY!
Brainless idiots.
This is a private property matter, the owner of that property(Walgreens) has the right...
The story said nothing about any corporate policy. Until and unless someone produces the policy, we don't know that it exists.
Yeah you sign a piece of paper before your first shift starts, if you don't sign it, then you don't start, so unless they forgot to have him sign that paper, he is screwed. If the store manager did forget to get him to sign that paper, then the store manager is screwed too.
How does the Private Property issue work when the store space is being leased? In the case of several BW3's locations being in strip malls. Just curious. I had read a thread a while back about an INGO member being asked to take his firearm out to the vehicle or leave during the middle of his dinner because BW3's has a no firearms policy. If it is a private property matter, shouldn't the strip mall owner have to weigh in? Sorry for taking this off topic.
Good. Gives me an excuse to not go into a CVS, either.
Running out of street corners to get our drugs on...dang.
Keep it covered up and carry it, your life is worth more than a job. You can always get another job if fired
[snip] Then, they changed management companies and the new company had the policy in their manual, no carry at work. Of course I would never, ever, ever violate a company policy by carrying a small pocket pistol where no one could ever see it.[Dross didn't put this in purple, but it's pretty obvious he's being sarcastic] I wouldn't even think about carrying my kel tec p3at deep in my front pocket. I wouldn't dream of carrying my CZ in my Crossbreed Supertuck under a loose, untucked shirt. Of course not.
You can legally carry it - they can fire you if they wish.
You don't need to justify your choice to anyone.
[snip] She had said just a few nights ago that she was not ready to carry, however she sent me a text today asking some questions about my carry pistol (which she likes, so I am guessing she is thinking of buying one for herself). I am encouraging that. I really hope that we can get an understanding (in writing!) with her manager to allow her to "break company policy" and keep a carry gun in her purse, that way she has it for walking back to her car.[snip]
It is a fact that Walgreens has a no weapons/gun policy, it is on one of the first papers you sign when you start work on your first day.
Ok, INGOers, I'll probably take some lumps for this, but I'm raising a flag...
- On YOU, not Walgreens...
Anytime someone comes on here and starts questioning whether they should carry at work (against company policy), the answers are always to carry anyway and take your chances with getting fired if you have to use it.
Here we have a case of someone doing just that, and rather than say "well, we told ya so, glad you're alive, good luck finding a new job", we break out the torches and pitchforks and go after the evil corporation who fired him.
Gimme a break. There's an awful lot of 'damn the man' chest thumping here on a regular basis, and now you're all (*) because someone actually got dinged for carrying against policy?

From the same thread:
While this is somewhat out of context as the individual has a specific threat she is concerned about, carry against company policy is still encouraged...
* - I'm not calling out the posters quoted above, these posts are merely examples of the bravado I see on here pretty often.
