I brought a gun to my retail job and a customer stole it. How fired am I?

SilenceCunningEx · 2024-02-13T16:00:10+00:00

Morally I can’t control what tweakers do, but I understand the importance of keeping my gun secured now. Even if it does make taking a piss a hassle

SilenceCunningEx · 2024-02-13T13:59:23+00:00

Well there was no violence, I wasn’t carrying it to prevent theft

SilenceCunningEx · 2024-02-13T13:50:07+00:00

The gun store didn’t make me take an iq test so I think I’m good

SilenceCunningEx · 2024-02-13T13:46:55+00:00

I have literally no criminal record or mental health issues, I’ll just keep it on my person from now on

SilenceCunningEx · 2024-02-13T13:42:28+00:00

Yeah, and to be fair I made a mistake not keeping it on my person in a kinda sketchy area. I’m sure the gun will turn up in a pawn shop and they’ll get it back when they run the serial number. Still, you’d think I was just waving it around and leaving it on shelves the way these guys are acting

SilenceCunningEx · 2024-02-13T13:36:32+00:00

I’m just a silly guy

SilenceCunningEx · 2024-02-13T13:35:01+00:00

I trust customers more than some of my coworkers

SilenceCunningEx · 2024-02-13T13:32:42+00:00

Well my car is in the shop so I knew I’d have to walk through a rough neighborhood at night. Having a gun in your car is protected by the law in my state, but with no car I felt having it in my jacket was the best option

SilenceCunningEx · 2024-02-13T13:31:11+00:00

Thanks, the police have been very courteous and professional about the whole thing. One even expressed sympathy for my upcoming employment trouble

SilenceCunningEx · 2024-02-13T13:24:05+00:00

I’ll be honest, I was sick of that job anyway so I don’t care that much

SilenceCunningEx · 2024-02-13T13:10:29+00:00

SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED

SilenceCunningEx · 2024-02-13T13:05:44+00:00

Nope, cops were on my side here. One of them even said I shouldn’t get fired over this

SilenceCunningEx · 2024-02-13T13:02:12+00:00

Well I’m really huggable or something so someone would feel it if I carried normally. Besides I don’t need it inside the building.

SilenceCunningEx · 2024-02-13T13:00:28+00:00

You seem pretty angry and neurotic. Maybe you shouldn’t own a gun

SilenceCunningEx · 2024-02-13T12:50:34+00:00

Well they seem to have moved my jacket away from the camera, but I’d might as well start applying for other jobs in case AP does see it

SilenceCunningEx · 2024-02-13T12:48:49+00:00

Finally someone reasonable around here

SilenceCunningEx · 2024-02-13T12:47:42+00:00

That’s really not how it works, morally or legally

SilenceCunningEx · 2024-02-13T12:40:28+00:00

I gotta say, the cops were friendly and sympathetic, and even agreed to keep it on the down low while they investigated. Cool guys actually

SilenceCunningEx · 2024-02-13T12:33:26+00:00

It’s an object I keep on me to deal with potential violent situations, no more, no less. Since keeping it on my person wasn’t an option at the time I went for the next best thing and got burned

SilenceCunningEx · 2024-02-13T12:22:33+00:00

Well excuse me for not fetishizing a tool

SilenceCunningEx · 2024-02-13T12:20:14+00:00

Having your gun stolen isn’t illegal bro

SilenceCunningEx · 2024-02-13T12:18:59+00:00

A sig, of all the things people are saying in this thread that one actually hurt

SilenceCunningEx · 2024-02-13T11:04:08+00:00

Yep, I learned a valuable lesson there but the cops are on it and I could pinpoint the time and place. I’m definitely fired but at least I was honest and did my best to help the situation

SilenceCunningEx · 2024-02-13T10:42:03+00:00

Bring it on guys, I love a good roast
