True, but keep a gun until they exit New Zimbabwe.

A woman got fired today. Not for having a gun on her, but for owning a conceal weapons permit. FOR HAVING A PERMIT! She is suing for discrimination.

That is clearly unfair dismissal.



Is there not more to this?

Thats all I know at the moment, gf told me on her lunch just now, it was someone she knows. She worked in Social Services.



That they found out she had a permit, and let her go. Did not even have a firearm on her.

That is fucked. But, it does not surprise me. The civil service in Canada employs snowflakes too.

if her employer doesn't want a gun on their premises that is probably their right.  Howerver an employer punishing someone for exercising their constitutional rights outside the work place, in  way that has no impact on her employer is another matter.  I have no idea if there is precedent, but I think the courts would side in her favor.  She should sue, if she is able to.  Maybe use a fundraising site to pay for her legal bills, or reach out to a conservative rights group.

Her employer stepped outside their bounds.

The way I understand it, there was no gun on the premises. They "found out" she had a concealed weapons permit and let her go. Her family suggested to do the same, sue. Its discrimination.



I figured it fit right in with "this is how messed up America is" lol.

Either this is her, or this woman is in the same situation



A young Virginia woman's story is going viral over the weekend after she claims she was fired from her job as a social worker for simply possessing a permit to carry concealed weapons.



The woman claims that at the time of her termination, she wasn't carrying a weapon.



What happened?

Storm Durham, who was until Friday a social worker for the city of Roanoke, posted on social media that she was fired from her job for being a legal concealed carry permittee and was escorted out of her workplace by three police officers upon learning of her termination because, as she claimed, she was deemed a "safety risk." At the time, Durham said she was not in possession of a firearm.



Was the termination legal?

According to one interview with Durham, she believes it was not. The Commonwealth of Virginia is a right-to-work and at-will work state, meaning an employer can dismiss employees without reason or notice while employees can quit without reason or notice.



However, since Durham believes her termination was in violation of her Second Amendment rights, she will likely lawyer up and fight her termination, which is what hundreds of people have urged her to do.[/quote]

Snopes says the story is "False".  Snopes is a very left wing ":fact checker" so make of it what you will
