Not by the hair of my chinny, chin, chin.
Should workers at McDonald's be given weapons?
Should school bus drivers be given guns?
Postal workers?
All of these have had assaults, murders and other stuff happen in the work place. I know of no way to totally eliminate violence in any of these locales. Arming workers would only lead to more killings, in my opinion.
Heck, I'd even go so far as to say that half the police officers who have guns now, might be better without them.
