Puryear Law is offering its employees a $50 bonus each month if they're willing to concealed carry at work.
"About four years ago I thought well, I'd like to see more employees exercise their right to carry if they so choose, how can I incentivize that?" said the firm's owner, attorney Eric Puryear. But even with the bonus policy, he adds that, "It's every person’s choice. If someone doesn't want to own a gun, I'm not going to try to make them."
While almost all of Puryear's employees have availed themselves of the offer at some point, right now only the attorney and one paralegal are carrying.
