From http://www.theblaze.com/stories/mich-county-worker-finds-loaded-gun-on-the-job-turns-it-over-to-police-and-gets-fired/:

Chevilott — who was also let go for insubordination and unauthorized access to the road yard — wants his job back and has enlisted the help of his local union president.

I get the feeling that this might be more about finding an excuse to get rid of an employee that was on someone's radar for something else. No question that this was a terrible, terrible excuse, though.

Nice find...always more angles to a story than we think.

What kind of gun was it? A Catch .22?

I like the reporting from TheBlaze. I've been a Glenn Beck fan for years though.
