You have 10 since May 24, 2011 when Rite Aid was robbed? http://www.kndu.com/story/10749538/a...nes-south-hill Nov 29, 2010 when Rite Aid was robbed? http://www.spokesman.com/video/2010/...e-aid-robbery/ Aug 31, 2010 when the Fifth and Browne Pharmacy was robbed? http://www.spokesman.com/stories/201...may-oxycontin/ Aug 3, 2010 when the Rite Aid was robbed? http://www.krem.com/news/29th-rite-a...-99913574.html July 9, 2010 when the Alberson's pharmacy was robbed? http://www.krem.com/news/crime/Pharm...-98125464.html I just listed a few of your pharmacy robberies in Spokane only, but it sounds to me like y'all have a fairly significant problem and it isn't just with Walgreens. On top of that, Walgreens policy isn't new. How do you account for the other pharmacies being robbed if Walgreens is such an easy mark? Yes, the guy involved in the May 2 robbery actually robbed 2 Walgreens and he also carjacked a guy. So, show me your data. Show me the 10 Walgreens robbed with some links to verify.

Here is my take...
I think that the stores have done their homework. And, their conclusion is that it would cost them much more, if someone sued them for being injured or worse by an employee's actions, than it would cost to quiet a grieving spouse. Besides, it's common knowledge that stores like WM take out individual life insurance policies on their employees. Probably for reasons such as that. It's all about the bottom line. |

Both our Major Food Stores here now welcome customers to CCW. Gotta love Grocery shopping. Bring on the Big Guns. No robberies at our Grocers.

''it's common knowledge that.....take out life insurance on their employees...''???
That sounds like an urban legand. Any evidence to support this? Having owned and managed a company with 500 employees I can tell you it's impossible to take out life insurance on employees without their permission. So there ought to be plenty of former employees willing to back up this claim. |

Google is your friend :
http://deadpeasantinsurance.com/whic...-of-employees/ They may tell the employees about their insurance policy program, or just pass it by them in a stack of employment forms without telling them that they are signing an insurance policy with the employer named as the beneficiary. walgreens is listed ..

I just wanted to take exception to the title of this post. He was on private property and if the business owner prohibited guns then he was trespassing, which is both a civil and criminal violation. Whether or not you agree with the owner's decision, you can't legitimately challenge his right to make it.

BTW: Rite Aid is the same as Walgreen in their employee cc policy.
Also, I don't watch the news every night, and yes, it appears that there are other pharmicies being robbed too, openly all no firearms allowed ones.. There are lot of oxycodon thefts in the Spokane area..I live about 150 miles NW of there...but Spokane is where our "local" Direct TV news comes out of. |

Rite Aid has the same policy? Their robberies aren't necessarily going up. What of all the other pharmacies? Come on, places get robbed regardless of the policy. It happens at convenience stores all the time. It happens at banks with armed guards. Hell, even gun stores get robbed...at gun point. Quote:

Here in Texas, the local Walgreens is NOT posted with a 30.06 sign, which means the public can come in armed if they are a legal CHL holder. But the employees can't? Hmmm.

@grayrock - I would assume this is because the store or company could just wash their hands of any involvement if there was an incident by a non-employee. Now if an employee is involved then their could be a lawsuit claiming that the employee was acting on behalf of the company.
I don't agree with it but that's what it sounds like to me. |

If you are salaried and die at home due to work stress, do they still get a payout? I wonder if they will start issuing uniforms to staff with little bullseyes over the parts of the body that provide a quick kill? Sort of “shoot here” shirts?. Has anyone ever been turned down for employment if they did not sign the Dead Peasants Policy?.

A local private pharmacist near me shot dead a robber.
Also, there is a legal literature on liability and it clearly indicates that companies are told they face more financial risk if an employee does something bad with a firearm (shoots an innocent, goes nuts) than paying off an employee or their family if they get hurt in a robbery. Despite, the claim that you can sue them for not allowing you to defend yourself - the majority of legal sources doesn't support that.

My suggestion...
Turn on tv, watch a crime channel for an hour or two.... After watching many fully cooperating store owners and employees get shot or stabbed (in this short period) for not resisting in any way then consider your decision to protect your life or become a victim...
