I need some help in this matter. While I do have a concealed weapons permit and DO carry my handgun loaded in my Honda Odyssey, I am far from crazy. I have been top sales in my company of which I have been employed for 5 years. I have never had any disciplinary write ups, (or any write ups for that matter) and have been very successful within the company. As of Monday, December 20th, I was suspended stating that I was being investigated on grounds that I brought a "weapon" onto company property. In fact, what happened, was that I had my sons M14 airsoft rifle delivered to my work place so that it was not delivered to my home while no one but my son was home. I simply wanted to surprise him. My mother works in the same office building and she was to take the gun from my work, straight to her home to wrap the gun for me and bring it over Christmas morning so that my son would be completely surprised. I opened the airsoft gun (TOY WITH the orange tip on it non the less) and took a look at it to make sure it was what I had ordered before my mother took the gun with her. Apparently, it offended a tree hugger in my office and HR was immediately contacted. I was treated as a Criminal for a week (the week of Christmas) as only my Office Manager would speak to me at all. My Regional Manager would not talk to me nor could I speak to anyone in the office even on a personal level as it would call for immediate termination. As of Monday, December 27, I was advised that my employment had been terminated specifically stated "violating an ____ standard of conduct, specifically having a weapon on company property".
WTF???? IT IS A TOY GUN!!! I am still just mind boggled at how this could have happened. There are butcher knives in the kitchen drawer and I am terminated over a toy?? I need help here. Can someone PLEASE point me in the right direction?? I do not have money for an attorney as I do not have a job, but I need someone to help me in where to go with this. I have filed an appeal as I just do not see how you can carry an airsoft gun on a plane but you can get fired from your job.....This doesn't make sense. Please.....Someone???!
