DUi

[Sigman1991]

I was wondering if an employee gets a DUI, what's the legality of them working at a gun shop.

Unless it's a felony or he drives for you I see no issue.

It would also depend upon the sentencing conditions upon conviction.

Thanks for the reply, guess we will see how much in trouble he got himself into

Seems some judges as a condition of any probation add weapons restrictions. He needs to make sure his lawyer tells the judge his continued employment depends on no such restriction.

I haven't seen weapons restrictions as a condition of DUI probation. Can't say it doesn't happen, though. Depending on the judge. Most do think they're god in their own courtroom.

It's a simple misdemeanor; not a crime of violence. It's informal. You pay your fines, do your classes, get your license restriction for a while and life goes on.

To go a step further, if he/she has a CCW the conviction might well violate the conditions under which he/she obtained and retained the CCW status.
If that is the case and the CCW status is revocable, you would have a decision to make as to whether he/she should (1) carry on your premises, if you allow that (and many shops do allow their employees to carry), and/or (2) handle firearms within your business.
It's that nasty word, LIABILITY... It's going to be a tough call.
Again, it all depends on the conditions set down by the court. If you have an attorney on retainer it might be a good question to pose to him/her.
