re: Wells Fargo Employee Fired for Carrying Concealed Handgun

People get fired for ignoring company rules everyday that aren't against the law. Its a private company that has rules that are to be followed, or the employee gets fired simple as that. If there was a written rule that said she had to walk through the door backwards every morning and she didn't, they could fire her and yet its not against the law to walk through doors forwards

I agree its a stupid rule and that is why I make sure I can carry at work before I accepted my job, but that is my choice and was also her's when she accepted her job.

You are an idiot.

I work in a plant and you obviously can't have firearms in the plant or any plant owned parking lots.

Thats not true at all. I work at a TWIC compliant refinery and you are allowed to have a firearm in you vehicle OUTSIDE of the plant entrance. Now if you are parking inside the fence of the refinery you cant have anything, but outside of the gate you're fine. Just as this lady would have been had she kept it in her vehicle.

I agree with both the company's policy and their decision to fire her.

For those of you that disagree with this, blame those that file frivolous lawsuits. This is more of a liability issue.

You mean Mondays? And although the company was well within their right to fire her for disobeying a COMPANY POLICY, it doesnt make said policy any less stupid. I brought this up in a safety meeting at work which was coincidentally about what should be done in the event of a company shooting and i said we might as well stick our head between our legs and kiss our asses goodbye. If the right person with the right weapon wanted in, they could do some serious damage, unless the security guard managed to walkie talkie him to death.

frick those pussies.

It's true for the plant I work at. Obviously different policies for different companies.

Eta: when I said any plant parking lot, I meant any of the plant (that I work at) owned parking lots.

That's a little exaggerated

If every employee has followed the rules of disarmament, I really don't think it is at all. Besides fences and some personnel, there is very little TRUE security at plants.

Nuclear plants are a different story. But your regular run-of-the-mill chemical plant is very porous.

I could be wrong but I believe there is some sort of federal law preventing those in the finance indutry from carrying at work. I am pretty certain stock brokers cannot carry and this could be the same for bank employees.
