16. Happens to me daily ...

Well ... almost daily.

It's the nature of the position I fill. I don't see people unless they are unhappy already, and without exaggeration, no week goes by without someone going off half-cocked with their mouth.

I don't particularly want to see what would happen should these people be allowed in my office with a weapon.

Actually, they won't be. If a law passes of this variety, they can take that law and shove it up their legislative asses.
