Business Owner pays for CCW Classes/Licenses for employees

Post by catfish86 »

Topic came up in another topic. I am restarting this topic in another topic so as not to hijack the other.

I am a business owner. With my latest hire I now have 7 employees. I paid for an entire class for my employees and family. I am now paying for a second round since I have 3 employees interested. I paid for one of my employees to get their license (I don't pay for the gun...gotta draw a line somewhere 8) ). I also highly encourage them to get legal insurance for carrying.

My feeling is that I want to be a hard target. It is a tax/accounting practice and we do have some questionable clients that we do their tax returns. Twice in about 20 years we have had a client require police attention. We are not Dirty Harry in mindset. But we believe in having the tools.

There were a couple of questions asked:

I had one guy that didn't take the class. He later left the firm for other unrelated reasons. I have another who intends to stay for the long run but has depression issues and prefers not to have a firearm.

As to the potential employees not having the right attitude to go armed, I would generally steer clear of those folks anyway since our stock and trade is being good, sane, sober and moral people.
God,
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can
and the Wisdom to know the difference.

Carrying a gun is a right, not a crime.

Gun control is racist.
