From the sound of this she has a solid case.
The pistol was in her vehicle, not on her person. WTF is she supposed to do? Throw it away?

She also should be smarter about this. [STRIKE]Like NEVER giving a ride to a co-worker if there is a firearm in your vehicle.[/STRIKE] do anything with a co-worker.

I refuse to socialize with anyone I work with. I know idiots that work and hang together and are even friends on FB....to me that is pretty stupid. Work is work and my life is my life. If I work with you I don't want to even have coffee with you after hours.
Not according to the report I just watched. She was carrying on the job and got outed as a result of one of the customers she visited. (a fed building).

Don't like to bring this up, but if someone was carrying at the beer distributor in Manchester, CT., more than likely the shooter may not have even attempted what he did or he may have not done as much damage as he did, It is a shame that employers don't realize that those that carry are not carrying because they are wack jobs, we carry in hopes of never, ever having to use our guns. If and when we have to expose our gun is only if there is a imminent and dire threat of death or bodily harm to ourselves or those around us, but most employers do not see it that way.

This then brings up a morals issue. If you carry for personal defense and you know your company will fire you for having it on you at work, do you defend your sheeple co-workers from a shooter in the building or do you protect yourself and get out yourself? Personally I don't think I could leave while my co-workers are getting mowed down, but I'd have to realize that it's a no win situation for me. Say you do get involved and you shoot the rampaging co-worker and save some lives. At first your company maybe happy you stepped in and saved some lives, but I bet the end result is that you get let go due to breaking company policy. Knowing that could be your fate can push you towards your decision and probably not the decision you would like to think you'd follow.
I would bet that there were 1 or 2 people ccwing in Manchester. I would also bet that they chose to protect themselves and get out of dodge.
Unless it's a family member that's in danger, you can bet your ass I'm saving myself before anybody else. The purpose of my firearm is not to protect others (in this example: co-workers), but to protect myself if the need arises. If I have a way out at work, it isn't the cowardly thing to do, it's the smart thing to do. Others should have their CCP to protect themselves and stop relying on police/govt.

The report I read indicated she had it on her person, was informed she could not carry into the federal building, and returned to leave it in her car ... all in the presence of her co-worker while they were traveling on company business. It is probably a very weak case, and is unlikely to be protected by the GA "gun in personal car on company property" law.Since GA law allows a firearm to be in a vehicle on private, work property, I don't see why it can't be in a vehicle off property during official work business. I think she has a pretty good case.
AbsolutelyOuch, quite a can of worms there. One must respect your right to make these decisions, which I of course do. But the last line is troubling, because there may be other innocent folks there that were DQ'ed for something inane, like having a DUI or some other nonsense. Do you feel that those who cannot obtain a firearm for whatever reason are TSOL in being potentially protected by "good samaritans"
?

I re-watched the article and it appears you are correct - I initially thought she was out of the car and had to go back with it. This one could be interesting.The pistol was in her vehicle, not on her person. WTF is she supposed to do? Throw it away?

Equating not getting involved in other peoples' fights with not helping anyone in an accident or in distress is a classic strawman argument.I think though hopefully I am never in a situation where I would need to draw a weapon that I would at least make an effort to disable a shooter if I deemed it feasible. Whether or not a group of innocent people are my friends are not is irrelevant. If I could "maybe" run away and get away with it or decide I was also likely able to stop a massacre, I'd make a sincere effort to stop the massacre first. I think it would be worse to live with the thought that I had a good chance at saving 2-30 lives if I didn't duck and run. All you people saying every man for themselves, would you also just call 911 if you saw someone drowning because you didn't want to risk getting pulled down with them? I honestly think its a bit selfish to say screw everyone else I am just trying to cover my own ass.
