https://lawandcrime.com/crazy/this-business-is-now-requiring-all-employees-to-carry-guns-at-work/by Rachel Stockman | 10:37 am, February 23rd, 2016
A Georgia business is now requiring all of their staff to obtain a concealed carry license and carry a weapon at work. Everybody has one of these in their drawer or on their person. I would not want to come into one of my facilities, business owner Lance Toland told WSB-TV in Atlanta. Its a 5 shot .410, just like a shotgun and you call it hand cannon.
Lance Toland Associates, which is an aviation insurance agency, has several offices around Georgia. The owner says after employees get their license, Toland gives them a gun known as the governor, which is made by Smith & Wesson. Toland contends the weapon is one of the most effective for self-defense. Toland says his companys gun mandate came as a result of a surge in crime in the Atlanta metro area.

Now, That's the American Way, Dammit!

Climate change? Im a global warming debunker, said Toland. We may be getting into a new ice age.
The media? There are no journalists anymore. When you have the media take a position on the election, thats not journalism, thats ideology.
Globalization? Were getting away from globalization with Trump. I do not want anything to do with a new world order, or the Hague. I dont want Belgium to tell me what to do. Screw Belgium. They got us into World War I.

at least for me.
back when i lived in texas, one of my employees told me he became a part-time constable and was required to carry a gun 24/7 and asked if that would be a problem at work. i asked the ceo and he said he needed to choose between the gun and his job.
we worked it out that he could keep the gun under lock in his car in the garage....

(58,792 posts)Is the company paying to train the employees how to use it?
I suppose this gets his people free background checks, though I question how well a local gun shop or sherriff's office could do that.

(146,351 posts)there should be some training involved. It's just too stupid to contemplate, really, though.
