How do mailmen survive on a daily basis with a gun?
Who cares?

My father was a postman for 30+ years. He spent 17 of those years walking routes.
Additionally, he carried a small spray can of mace (it wasn’t called mace - I don’t recall what the name of the stuff was, but it had the same effect as mace) on has bag or person, just in case....
He once told me in all that time, he’d used it once.
He was good with dogs (we had our share at home over the years), and they were apparently good with him.
He knew his stuff.
