Niece robbed last night, told my MSP to apply for Permit

[Sthomas229]

My sister calls me this morning to ask how to apply for a Md carry permit. Last night my niece was robbed while delivering pizza on the eastern shore.

MSP trooper tells her she should apply for permit to protect herself while working.

Yeah, if only the State of Maryland operated so simply.... Hope she's okay and not too shaken up.

This.. Msp and being OK.

She would need permission from her employer.

This is why I always tip pizza delivery people handsomely at night. That's a dangerous job.

First thing I told her is talk to employer about company policy. It'd be a pisser if my 22yr old niece could get a permit. I'd get a part time job at papa johns quick.

Thankfully she is physically unharmed. Hope she is not emotionally injured for too long.

Oops, wrong thread.

It was a setup from go. When she first went to house, no one answered door. Guy calls back asking where's my pizza, she returns and he comes out of shadows with a gun when she shows up.

He put his hand on the car, it's being fingerprinted today, hopefully they get him.

She was not working for PJ, i just said that because I like their pizza. Maybe I should rethink that if they will not let drivers defend themselves.

Said she won't quit because of it. She's pretty tough. I guess I should got spend some time with her, teach her some awareness and whatnot.

I am pretty sure that all of the national pizza chains forbid employee carry.

Lets hope he has a HQL so they can match the prints!

Work mate got robbed at knife point delivering pizza. After that my deliveries had more than a pizza in the red bag..

I can't imagine any retail chain of pizza delivery places signing off on a ccw.

All the big chains have policies against their drivers carrying anything while working. They don't want the liability.

Well, the only time you should get caught carrying is when you use your ccw for self defense. Imagine the terrible publicity for firing someone who was robbed and assaulted while working for you. Even if they did fire you, who cares? You're alive to find another crappy job.

But it's okay for their work force to take the liability...

What would happen if all of their drivers staged a walk off and refused to deliver until their lives were considered to be of value?

I'd possibly carry it anyways, or at least keep it in my car, and use it only as a last resort if necessary.

While I have heard of a couple incidents where employees get fired for using a lawfully owned gun in self defence at work, the majority of such incidents I've heard about on the news don't end up with a fired employee. Possibly a verbal reprimand.

As for applying for a permit. I'd present the police report, inform them that she used her personal vehicle and may now be personally identifiable by the perpetrator, especially if the thief got a glimpse of her license plate, and that she will keep working in the same area, thus a real danger is present to her safety.

Beat me to it. Now she has a documented threat.
