You seem to have a very primitive understanding of how guns work. Say that for every three gun carriers there is also one bad one. A non realistic proportion of bad ones. Then say that your bad employee opened fire. If you were the only one with a gun your odds of shooting him first would be much less than if there were also three others trying to stop him. Also, just by having everyone there with a gun is a deterrent. Would someone be more likely to rob someone who they knew has a gun and would protect themselves or someone they knew was away or unarmed? It is the same principle at work

Where is the safety in banning guns in the workplace?
How many gun related crimes are committed by employees in police stations, gun shops and other places of employment where practically every employee is armed?
I invite responses from anyone who can show me figures where this exceeds one tenth of one percent of all such crimes.

Gee by your logic they should pass out guns to all who enter prison, this would stop prison violence in it's place!...Stick to the sewing threads, and "spice rack" discussions...more your speed.
