I read this in the latest July 2008 NRA American Rifleman Magazine. I couldn't find it on line so this is word for word from the magazine.
July 2008 NRA American Rifleman Magazine The armed citizen
(The Des Moines Register, Des Moines, IA 04/03/08)
Pizza Hut deliveryman James Spiers thought he was making a routine delivery, but he was walking into an ambush. As Spiers approached, an armed man sprang at him with a gun, but Spiers, a concealed-carry permit holder, was no easy target. Police say Spiers struggled hard with the assailant until he was able to produce his handgun. "It was a long ordeal...my life was, without a doubt, in danger," Spiers recalls. Spiers shot the suspect three times. The suspect fled and was arrested at the hospital. Pizza Hut summarily fired Spiers, a 10-year employee, citing a corporate policy forbidding employees from carrying firearms. To voice your displeasure, call Pizza Hut Corporate Offices at 800-948-8488 or visit http://www.pizzahut.com/contactus/ContactUsForm.aspx?l1=2024.
Shortly after I read this my wife called to tell me she was on her way home but had to stop off and pick up a couple pizza's. I told her of this article, and good thing I did as it was Pizza Hut she was going too. Needless to say she canceled our order and explained why and went toDomino's instead.
I also sent a policy change request and asked to be contacted by phone.
