Sorry, but, the policy is established by the lawyers and the insurance companies. They, the companies, don't give a tinkers dam about the safety of employees - just the bottom line!

Now, granted, "most" people have no business carrying a firearm as they do not have knowledge of when/where/why/etc., it might be used. They would probably be a liablity. Also, "most" people will never have a reason to use a firearm at work. BUT, if I were to be working in a position such as: 7 - 11, Quik Stop, Gas Station, Pizza Delivery, etc., I bloody well would carry!!
