If the policy was for employees to always resist robbers and pull shotguns out of their drawers and shoot robbers in the head

Are you volunteering?

Specifically, in this case, no.

If the company I worked for had a wussy policy that I had to agree to before being hired then, I would follow the policy. And I have no experience with firearms, anyway. But my post was purely hypothetical and was merely meant to point out that having a wuss policy invites robberies. Having a tough policy discourages them. That’s all.

But I do have experience practicing martial arts and if someone robs me on the street then I’m not going to smile and hand the jerk my wallet and say have a nice day. If the opportunity presents itself, I will do my best to take the guy to the ground so he can’t get back up. If I do my job right, he won’t be able to rob other people for awhile.

I believe that the ready submission of most people to the demands of thieves and thugs only encourages more thievery and thuggery. If more people resisted, there would be a lot less of it and I just want to do my part. <:^)
