My wife patronizes a hair salon near our house where the female owner of the salon requires all of her girls to have a cwp and to be armed while in the salon. It is a condition of employment.
Criminals will just wait until closing time.
Exactly! In addition to it making for a safer workplace, it's a weeding out process. If you can't handle a firearm, what else can't you handle?
2. There is an obvious, clear screen to limit employees to a select, high quality level. Permit holders are self selected to be one of the most law abiding, responsible groups in the nation. Their crime rates are only a fraction of those of police officers; they are many more times as law abiding as the general population.
This is what many business are doing, it is saveing them a lot in background checks.
Some people are just too nervous and jumpy , they could get into a situation that could put them in prison for the rest of their life.
Again, this helps weed out those types of people. Would you want a jumpy nervous type working for you?
There are few gun shops in Tennessee that do NOT have clerks wearing pistols openly.
Define "handle a firearm". Civilian CCW does NOT require the same facility with a firearm as police or military. A better phrase is "SAFELY handle a firearm", which probably 95% or more of the population can qualify for. Safe handling of a firearm is NOT complicated.
That be a “Raging Judge”. Un-ported 454 casull kinda hurts even with the added weight. I put 15 rounds down range. Was enough for me.
I have never seen one but even if I did, it would just be CYA and not really necessary.
Virtually every DoD contractor employee handbook I have ever seen forbids bringing anything dangerous or hazardous into the workplace - especially firearms. Almost all of the person-to-person interaction is between DoD military, DoD government civilian, and DoD contractors and we are all covered by the same rules.
For some companies, it is a firing offense to even have a weapon in your car if it is parked on company property.
Of course, the high security and/or prime target facilities are fenced, controlled entrance operations with lots of armed guards. Like going through screening at an airport or at a courthouse entrance.
