Chains like Pizza Hut and Domino's Pizza have rules forbidding delivery drivers from exercising their right to carry while on the job, even though delivering pizza can be a dangerous job (at least 15 drivers were killed in robberies in 2007.)
That "no Right-to-Carry allowed" policy may be the reason that Pizza Hut driver Eric Devictoria was unarmed when he was robbed at gunpoint in Florida a few days ago. Devictoria had only one thing to use in self-defense: the pepperoni pizza he was supposed to be delivering. He threw the pizza box at his attackers … they fired a gun in return.
Luckily Devictoria wasn't hurt, and police have taken three young men into custody. They're now facing armed robbery charges. Devictoria and thousands of other delivery drivers are facing more dangerous shifts, armed with nothing more than their wits and the pizzas that are the tools of their trade.
If a driver is a licensed Right-to-Carry holder, why not let them carry on the job? Do these corporations really want to explain to the family of a driver who is killed that their defenselessness was actually a good thing?
