Except I knew for a fact one of the senior VP's had a gun in his vehicle and I know of two people who took loaded firearms, in their purses, (yes these were females), into the workplace. Their reasoning? "If someone goes nuts, I'd rather be fired for breaking the policy and defending myself than getting shot in a cowering position".

Anyone who personally knows me knows I keep my mouth shut. About that, I kept it doubly shut.
