Which is why I argued that it is wrong in principal, I have it bolded now instead of italicized as before. We have reports of guns stopping crimes and protecting innocent lives, there are also reports where the gun on the scene may have had things work out worse. There isn't any evidence, to my knowledge, that proves guns are a danger or an absolute help. But in principal is it wrong to keep people unarmed and prevent them from defending themselves against armed robbers.
Extremely well-said.
The knowlege that staff are armed tends to discourage robbery in the first place.
I've repeatedly brought up Biggerstaff's, the store in the 'hood that cashes checks and has probably a hundred grand cash in the register... and has NEVER been robbed in sixty years, because the staff all wear Glocks on their hips in plain sight, and have a shotgun behind the lunch counter.
