Mr. Musgrove,
Your uneasiness and belief that someone else should now be permitted to carry a gun is in error. The State permits him to carry a gun. Only Pizza Hut thinks otherwise. That is their right.
But here is the kicker. I would hold YOU responsible for any Pizza Hut delivery person who is killed while in the act of delivering your pizza. You would be a co-conspirator, for had you not ordered the pizza the person would not be at risk. Think about that next time you order your sanctimonious $5-5 special from PH.
Oh and while your swilling that all down consider this. In the scenario you offered, your friend did not have to respond at all. It is settled law that police departments do not have to respond to any call from a citizen. So while you are holding on the phone with 911 your attacker is preparing to reload.
Personally my first line of defense is me. The cops can mop up after the fact. But I want the pizza hut guy to have as equal a chance as I do in any altercation.
