Iowa attorney offers bonus to employees to conceal carry

DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) - A Davenport attorney is offering his employees a $50 monthly bonus if they carry a concealed gun into work.

Attorney Eric Puryear of Puryear Law P.C. tells KWQC-TV (https://bit.ly/1BAV1EV ) that the offer is about encouraging safe gun ownership. He says almost every employee in his office has taken the deal, but currently only he and a paralegal carry a weapon into the firm’s office.

A receptionist says that although her family doesn’t own a gun and doesn’t plan to at the moment, she says she’s brought up the idea of attaining one.

Puryear also is a National Rifle Association instructor and has held a gun permit class for three employees in the last month.
