My best friend is working at a Sam's Club, which is a division of Wal-Mart.
Wal-Mart & Sam's Club corporate policy is that they have no problem with persons who posess valid carry permits carrying weapons while shopping there. UNLESS YOU ARE AN EMPLOYEE!
All Wal-Mart & Sam's Club employees are expresely forbidden to possess in any manner a firearm on Company Property. Company Property includes the parking lot of ANY Wal-Mart or Sam's Club NOT just the one where you work.
I can understand that they feel you shouldn't carry a weapon while you are on the clock, but if any employee, is on any Company Property, even on a day off shopping as a regular customer is subject to IMMEDIATE termination if found with any firearm on company property.
My friend was told that this meant even a weapon in the trunk of a personal car in the parking lot is a violation of company policy.
Why should a loyal employee, who has been deemed fit, by the local constabulary, to carry a conceaked firearm be discriminated against?
Technically, if any employee were to buy one of the special edition Sam Walton Remington 870 shotguns from Wal-Mart, they would be subject to termination the moment they took possession of it.
My friend was told, by the Personel Supervisor that there were NO exceptions to this policy.
I hope the bad guys never figure out just how much cash the average Wal-Mart or Sam's Club has on hand at any given time. (It's a helluva lot, BTW)
Or that all of the women leaving at closing time and walking all the way to back parcking lot (employees are also forbidden from parking close to the entrance) are unarmed.
Does anyone else but me find this Stinkin' Thinkin' ?
