I’m not sure if I like the idea of requiring it, not everybody is cut out to handle a firearm.

Everybody is cut out to handle a firearm, unless you have no arms at all.

It’s all a matter of training and practice, like driving.

What if an elementary school had a requirement that 25% of employees over 25 years of age had to carry? They could have a meeting, explain the needs, and ask for applications from the employees, and take the best of those who applied. Best = most suitable or experienced, and even locations of position (you’d want one in every hallway or building or corner of the school, etc.).

I personally wouldn’t require CCW for current employees if it hadn’t been a condition of employment at the time they were hired (though I would strongly encourage it), but as for new hires, those who don’t think they are capable of handling a firearm are free to work elsewhere.

Not an option where I work, unfortunately. All guns forbidden on the property except stored in your vehicle under specific conditions.

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?

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.
