I'm a supervisor in a typical government office that deals with the public. I supervise typical (un)civil servants. Most of them are women in a permanent state of PMS. They can (and do) fly off the handle if I look at them cross-eyed.

The last thing I want is for them to have a loaded pistol in the trunk of their car.

If they have to drive all the way home to get their gun to blow my brains out - at least they have a chance to cool off on the drive home.

If all they have to do is run out to the parking lot to get the loaded gun - I'm a goner.

Government employees shouldn't be armed at all. They're dangerous enough as it is.

You must be a great boss...

"an armed society is a polite society" R.A. Heinlein

so bring your own gun to work to protect against those very same PMS maniacs you so fondly spake of.

You watch too much TV.

WEll, maybe your supervision skills need work,the gov't rules the public are dealing with in seeing your staff,or some combination is the problem.

If more postal workers freak out than any other business,then postal management must be doing a poor job.
