Pa. cop sues Wal-Mart over termination for carrying gun on duty

Officer Michael Zuby said he was told by his boss to remove his gun from the store

TAYLOR, Pa. — An officer has filed a lawsuit against Wal-Mart after his boss told him to remove his gun from the premises while he was on duty.

Officer Michael Zuby, who was in uniform, went to get lunch at the Wal-Mart where he works a second job as security. His boss told him to take the gun off the property, WREG reported.

Zuby said he was required by law to carry the gun while on duty, but managers told him store employees aren’t allowed to carry weapons on the property.

Managers allegedly told the police not to send Zuby to the store if there is an emergency, the lawsuit states.

Wal-Mart said they offered him a different job for the same pay or to move him to another store.
