I can't seem to locate anything that discredits this story or suggests there was any other reason for her termination, but hopefully there is more to this story than what is being told.

If there's not, this is completely unacceptable.

Lawyer up.

I don't think she's telling the whole story. I followed this a bit on FB and checked her page. There were comments by a few people that said that her boyfriend had come to her place of work with a gun and threatened another employee. They also said she was a nut case and difficult to work with.

I have the screen shots on my phone and see if I can post them in a few.


Not saying she's totally wrong but I'd like to hear the other side first.

In one of her posts talking about it she starts talking about how they fired a "white woman". It was rather weird.

Having been through something similar, I don't believe her.

Something seems off with her.

Here's her FB post:

I was fired today. I was fired by a Department of Virginia… Social Services the people who are supposed to be there to keep kids safe and develop families into better people for each other. I was fired today due to having a concealed carry permit. Was my gun on me? No. Has it ever been on me during my job, or visits, or anything related to work? No. When I told them that it has never been on me during work, what did they say? “How do we know that.” Search me. Do I have a criminal record? No. Do I, (yes the 22 year old blonde who is 5’2 and about 140 pounds who loves everything Disney, pink, and basic), come across as a threat to you? If you know me I’m pretty sure you’ve never been shaking in your boots due to my vary presence. But today, I was escorted by not one, not two, but three Roanoke City Police Officers to my office where I packed up months of thank you cards, and pictures of kids I’ve helped. I was escorted by officers who have been with me on visits where I placed a child with a relative due to risks, or when I was hugged by a child because they finally felt safe again. I was told to pack immediately and that I could not even use the bathroom to take a minute for myself because of my “serious safety concerns to the building.” I have a concealed carry permit. I own guns. I hunt. I target shoot. I represent Women hunters and outdoorswomen. Does that make me a criminal? Does that make me a safety risk to others? A big enough safety risk to be escorted by three Roanoke City Police officers? So scary and threatening that I need to be treated like a criminal? To be humiliated and looked down upon for owning a gun? For legally having a gun, registering that gun, and having the appropriate documentation for that gun?

The Constitution of the United States of America. The one document that has followed us for years, and will continue to be the power resource of all we do as Americans. The second amendment: the right to bear arms. The Roanoke City Department of Social Services should be ashamed of themselves. They should be publically known that they did this. That they fired a innocent, clean record, white, female, college graduate who works for a living for legally having, and owning a gun. That was NEVER on their property or in their building. A gun that was never used for evil, but as protection as I am a survivor or sexual assault. Protection for being that white, 22 year old, female. I am an American. A gun owner. And a proud sponsor of hunting across America, and I, nor my lawyers, judges, or support systems will rest until something is done. Until someone answers for punishing me and taking away my constitutional right.

What the hell does being white have to do with anything?

And here's a person that seems to work with her casting doubt on her story.

I read through all the stuff on Facebook as well, sounds like there is likely a lot more to the story and the permit is not the reason she was fired.

At a minimum she struggled with grammar when she was in school.

We all know you ain't no 140 lbs

LOL

Did this woman highlight "white" in red in her FB post or was that added later by someone else? If she did, my guess is a black/hispanic/asian/something-other-than-white supervisor or boss of some kind gave her the bad news.

And having a boyfriend or whatever show up at your workplace and act like a lunatic isn't grounds for firing, is it?

There's a lot we don't know here. But it seems her gun permission slip wasn't the cause of her termination.

I added the red. It just seemed odd to highlight the fact that they fired a white person as if it's some kind of sin
