1. I bet there were also some other businesses that WEREN'T robbed
That didn't have employees with concealed weapons.

I am against concealed weapons, because I believe that only paranoid people walk around with concealed weapons, and they are more likely to shoot people out of paranoia than to "save the day." I believe statistics would back me up on this one.

For example, I worked in a nursing home with a 300-lb, 63-year-old-nurse who was convinced that she was going to be raped or sexually assaulted one day, in our little town of 2,000 people. So she walked around with a gun in her purse, and with her finger on the trigger when she was walking through the supermarket parking lot.

I kept waiting to hear about how some poor grocery bagger got shot for startling her.

It's about the fear. That's the way they like it. If we weren't afraid of each other, we might just get together and whup some corporate looter ass.

I think concealed handguns are a bad idea.
