How to keep guns out of your business
With the growth in workplace violence and assaults in business settings, companies
should think twice before allowing hundreds, or perhaps thousands, of CCW licensees to carry
concealed handguns onto business property.57 Consider, for example, the following potential
types of violent scenarios that could take place in a business setting if handguns were allowed.
· A disgruntled employee participates in a grievance hearing. During the hearing, the
employee becomes enraged and pulls out a concealed handgun, shooting not only his
supervisors but other employees who have attended the hearing. The employee then
turns the gun on himself and commits suicide.
· An employee becomes infatuated with a fellow employee and makes several
unwanted advances that are rebuffed. One day after another advance and rebuff, the
harassing employee takes out his concealed handgun and murders the fellow
employee.
· A customer comes into your store to shop. While the customer is in the store, an
armed robbery occurs at the front counter. The customer, wanting to be a hero, pulls
out a concealed handgun and starts shooting toward the robbers but instead hits and
kills your employee who is standing behind the counter. The robbers return fire,
killing the customer, and then flee the scene.
These are just some of the types of violent encounters that businesses must address in
their security plans. In each of these scenarios, the presence of a firearm can easily turn a
stressful situation into a deadly one.
