Actually, that is understandable. Had he fired and missed, or even hit the guy but the bullet penetrated without opening (assuming a hollow point) and then hit someone else, it puts the company in jeopardy of a major lawsuit. That lawsuit is even bigger if there is evidence they allow or encourage their drivers to be armed. I don't like it, personally, but from a pure business perspective, I get it. The same thing happens when night clerks in gas stations and corner stores pull guns. Most of the time, they're fired, too, and probably for the same reasons.
Of course, the saving grace is it was a franchise, so as long as you don't buy from that franchise, you can still buy Dominoes!

I managed a PJs Pizza when my wife was finishing college. Our policy was no guns on property, and yes the cars were considered company property while making deliveries. I told my drivers this but also told them just don't give me a reason to need to search your vehicle. If you have your carry permit that's a good thing. I had been robbed on delivery, 2 others I worked with had been robbed on delivery, a store a town over had a driver shot and killed and his car stolen. Delivery drivers should carry a gun and should be well educated on how and when to use it. AND it may not be 'manly' enough for some, but a .22 works just as well as a personal protection weapon in your car as any larger caliber would. You don't have to remove the head.
22 can be great but can be very under powered at the same time , shot placement is more critical for sure ... that said many trauma surgeons claim a 22 bullet wound are some of the worst they have to deal with , the bullet is not powerful enough to go through if it hits a bone and ricochets around inside the body until it exits or is stopped tearing up everything in its path making it very difficult to repair the damage

Anecdotal evidence <> data, but yeah... I lost my best friend/ big brother to a .22 magnum this spring. The damage was catastrophic and he died almost instantly.
The main reason a .22 isn't preferable for a carry weapon is that the rimfire primer isn't as reliable as a centerfire.
