Small Business Arming Employees

Also thinking out loud with no research. Either the legislature must pass a law, or a business must get sued and lose on appeal (or win depending on which side the business is on) to make a difference. Until the legislature or the courts make clear the law, business owners will lean toward pragmatism and cost/ benefit analysis. In a rough neighborhood they might lean one way. In a posh neighborhood another way. The tort lawyers have to get involved to make this happen, I think.

There's also the employee-security guard problem. For example, my pilot brother enrolled in the "armed pilot" program. (I can't remember the name of the program.) He quit the program after a short time because the airline and/or program placed so many restrictions on his actions that he figured he was actually more safe not participating.
