A Virginia woman is claiming she was fired as a social worker for Roanoke City Social Services because she had a concealed carry permit. “Not the gun, the permit,” she tweeted on Friday, adding that she was called a “safety risk to the building”:

I was fired today. From Roanoke City Social Services, serving as a damn good social worker. I was fired for having a concealed carry permit. Not the gun, the permit. I was escorted by 3 city police officers bc I am a "safety risk to the building" — Storm Durham (@chelstorrm) March 10, 2018

According to the woman, “lawyers are involved”:

Oh don’t worry y’all lawyers are involved. Thanks so much for the support…just hopefully it gets picked up for free now ? — Storm Durham (@chelstorrm) March 10, 2018

And my insurance lasts at least a month?! I have asthma people ?? — Storm Durham (@chelstorrm) March 10, 2018

This seems problematic, to say the least:

I was called in my boss’s office around 2 months ago asking if I felt safe at home and if there is any DV bc it was brought to their attention we have guns in the home. LEGAL GUNS. — Storm Durham (@chelstorrm) March 10, 2018

Some of the reaction from conservatives around Twitter:

Wait, did you chew the concealed carry permit into the shape of a gun? https://t.co/ebNfyF8fzX — Chet Cannon (@Chet_Cannon) March 10, 2018

The law suit should be a beautiful thing to watch…you may not have to work for years lol…idiot Roanoke City govt. https://t.co/dpt8v0vU5t — Hammy ✈ (@e2pilot) March 10, 2018

This is insane, and I don't see how it's not illegal. Some liberal bureaucrat jackass somewhere got mad with power and did this. https://t.co/28KqDiVf65 — Not David Dennison (@trogdor8768) March 10, 2018

Definitely a story to watch.
