Court Affirms Firing of Employee Who Carried Gun at Work
"While it is undisputed that Holly possessed a gun in his vehicle UPS SCS premises--which is gun possession protected under Kentucky law--it is likewise undisputed that he removed the gun from his vehicle and placed it in another employee's vehicle--which is not gun possession," the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals said in Holly v. UPS Supply Chain Solutions.
UPS said it fired Holly for poor performance and violating a company policy against asking a co-worker for a favor on company time. Holly said it was a pretext for his having a gun at work, but the appeals court said it didn't matter.
