Gun Policy

Make sure that you focus on keeping your employees safe rather than pushing a personal agenda. [More]
Well then, we need to take into account that signs never seem to stop those with murder on their minds, and also recognize the documented admission that:
In 2004, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences released its evaluation from a review of 253 journal articles, 99 books, 43 government publications, and some original empirical research. It failed to identify any gun control that had reduced violent crime, suicide, or gun accidents. The same conclusion was reached in 2003 by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control’s review of then extant studies.
I suppose to be legally "safe" (as if there is such a thing), a business could adopt a policy for employees and visitors similar to the one Starbucks offered its customers when caught between open carry advocates and gungrabbers--that they would abide by applicable state laws.

I prefer something a little more direct and less tepid:

If you threaten to or commit acts of physical aggression on these premises, the rest of us will employ an armed response to stop you.

  1. I really love the Kates/Mauser quotation in this article. It makes me wish I had a photographic memory so that I could spout it out verbatim whenever confronted with a "we need more gun control" opponent.
