Given the events these past two days I have now come to the conclusion that we need to re-think our policy of employees not being armed at work.
It is a shame but the times and the way some people think have changed. When they make their statement it is in the cost of many lives.
I will start to carry again...
I'm with you on that one Olds.
You're right Olds.
The workplace is statistically the most likely place not to die accidentally but to be murdered.

Olds,
I used to own a business that employed 250 plus. Turnover was 3 times a year; around 750 people. I always assumed that at least one of them might be a nut who might want to visit the boss.
I have had stores that were the scene of gang wars with Uzis used to settle the dispute. I have had employees shot and mangled. I have seen first hand the destruction a gun can cause in the wrong hands.
I have put people in the big house for 25 years. My life has been threatened many times.
I always had my hand in my briefcase when I left my office. Weapons in the hands of competent, trained, good people are not the problem and they can become the solution. I can assure you that when weapons are banned, it does not prevent the criminal element or crazies from carrying.
