It's sad but as a retired businessman I fully understand the reason they made it company policy, because of liability. EVERY buisiness has to try it's best to limit liability or they go out of business. Things have changed over the years, today it's the ROBBER that sues the company plus any bystander.

Look around you at all the company names. We USED to see "corp" at the end of the companies names, some ever made sure it was a total part of the name ever part of the logo, take GMC.

Today all we see is "LLC" that stands for Limited Liability Corp. They are set up to limit their liability and I do not blame them one bit. Ever though I always check with my lawyer and CPA on anything important and I use them both in court sometimes I know enough that one simple little mistake can cost a company millions of dollars when it did not have to be that way.

Think about this a minute. How many of you that have carry permits have insurance to cover you if there is a shooting??? I'll bet 95% of you don't and think homeowners insurance will cover you, you'll find out too late it stops at a certain place. I myself have insurance that covers my legeal expenses and my liability. Ever there I'm trying to limit my liability to protect myself when we shouldn't have to but the sad fact is we do need it today.

I don't think any buisiness should look to much in a employees personal life. If he has not broken any laws then it's nobodys business if that person has guns or not. The oly business they have is if that person was to bring them on the job.
