Love the beauty of this statement and the wisdom of FL legislators/courts in making it clear:

Domino’s spokesman Tim McIntyre told TheBlaze that while the company prefers that drivers do not carry weapons Florida state law supersedes any company’s policy.

“In this case, the employee of the independently owned franchise has a concealed carry permit and was not charged with anything. We’re simply grateful that he was unharmed,” McIntyre said.

So in other words Tim was saying 'if the employee followed our company policy he might be dead - except for his personal decision to protect himself from our dangerously stupid policy'.

Can we carry in WI if we deliver pizza? I have heard of delivery persons getting robbed, esp late night deliveries. My brother in law delivers pizza on the night shift in the triangle in NC. He bought a gun years ago. Need to ask him if he carrys his weapon.

If the company you're delivering for bars employees from carrying, you have no permission to carry while delivering and could face repercussions (i.e. termination) should you choose to ignore the company rules.

An employer may prohibit a licensee that it employs from carrying a concealed weapon in the course of the licensee's employment or during any part of the licensee's course of employment. -- Wis. Stat. § 175.60(15m)(a)

However:

An employer may not prohibit a licensee, as a condition of employment, from carrying a concealed weapon or from storing a weapon in the licensee's own motor vehicle, regardless of whether the motor vehicle is driven or parked on property used by the employer. -- Wis. Stat. § 175.60(15m)(b)

Meaning, even if your employer bans firearms as part of your employment, they cannot legally prevent you from carrying while in your own vehicle. Should you be terminated for having or carrying your firearm in your vehicle while delivering, and you're a licensee, you would have cause for a wrongful termination lawsuit.

At will employee ... no exception carved out for gun ownership/possession

Carry gun in your car and company don't like it? They'll fire you.

Never TELL them and avoid this issue. If you need it, use it ... better alive and unemployed than the reverse.
