Ok, having worked for Pizza Hut as a delivery driver at one of their corporately-owned stores here locally, I can attest to the fact that not only were we NOT allowed to carry weapons while working, but we were also told to cooperate with any robbery attempts made upon our person or the store, regardless of any training or weapons we may have that would incline us to do otherwise.

The maxim is this: YOU CAN ALWAYS MAKE MORE MONEY, BUT YOU CAN'T RESURRECT DEAD EMPLOYEES

Makes a little bit of sense from a corporate standpoint, doesn't it? To codify in company policy that you value your people more than you value the money in the cash drawer or safe...that's an uncaring corporation there. The policy is instituted to prevent any would-be heroes that weren't as lucky as the above driver from being injured in a misguided attempt to "protect the company"

The guy knew this when he started working there, and it's reinforced in the training. He accepted the potential negative consequences of his action when he chose to carry the handgun.
