I'm uncomfortable with others, who are unwilling to incur the cost, hassle and liability of providing a means for their own defense, asking me to do it for them.
This has come up at church....
I'm told by my pastor that it's a good thing if I carry at services. But the leadership has been shy to publish any kind of security policy or to organize any kind of security team (unlike the church in Colorado in which an armed volunteer on their security team saved a LOT of lives). I can only assume that they are concerned about liability and the bleating of the sheeple.
Then the guy who has been at the center of the do nothing security committee takes it upon himself to tell me I'm "printing" while I know that I'm carrying legally with the leaderships encouragement, so I have not been overly concerned about "printing". I carry the same at church as I do anywhere else, and have never been made that I know of. But then again, if you know that someone is carrying and you look carefully for signs of it while they stand up and sit down, you're likely to see a bump once and a while. This guy carries himself, and trains actively, so I suppose he's just trying to be helpful.
I'm more than a little concerned that the typical parishioner is so clueless to the real threats that are out there (the senior pastor has had his life threatened as well as several threats of violence made in attempt to intimidate him into cowering into PC preaching, and the youth pastor was threatened that his wife and young kids would be burned alive).
I'll stand up to the plate and do my part, but am fairly irked that other able bodied men, are happy to do nothing, with hopes that others will come to their aide when it hits the fan.
Not trying to hijack your thread... I see my quandary as being related to your own situation at work, but may be awry.
