I wondered about the wisdom of going back into the store until he said that the manager thanked him. That seemed to imply that the manager was left defenseless inside.

Good job on the employee's part. Autozone acted well within their rights, but (IMO) stupidly. Some other outfit will hire this gutsy kid and be better off for it.
Shame that the young man got fired for doing what any decent person would do.
Way back in the Dark Ages, when I was stupid enough to work third shift in a convenience store, the owners told me that it was the insurance company that made them have the "no guns" policy for employees. As I understand it, that is the same thing that drives the "no loaded guns" policy of most gun shows.
The owners also told me that, if I carried and had to use it, I would be fired. And added, "But we'll hire you back as soon as everything has settled."
It seems that any acquaintances of yours who you know are anti-gun are out of luck, yet a stranger is good to go.<snip> I must add, that if I KNEW a victim(s) was anti-gun, I personally would NOT help him/her...would not want to tread on their personal anti-gun beliefs/values -- good luck to them. <snip> Still, IMO people who won't defend themselves deserve any negative results of that decision.
Any of you out there in the Commonwealth have this fella as your sheriff?The sheriff said he was disappointed to hear that McLean lost his job on account of stopping the robbery.
“That’s certainly unfortunate,” he said. “They should be doing something to reward that young man instead of firing him.”
Sheriff Diggs said AutoZone has also sent an unintended message to the community.
“The company has now sent a message to every would-be robber out there – ‘Hey we’re open for business and unarmed. Come on in and take our money,’” he said.
My thought exactly. Seems to me that is just a subtle way of them trying to show us as irresponsible.Note to self: Don't let the media talk me into racking the slide on my pistol. No obligation to add dramatic effect into a self-defense interview.
