yep...you get it.
guys, i just wanted to explain why that was, i wasn't trying to be a cowboy. the company issued smith mod-10 revolvers. nothing wrong with those, i like 'em and own several...now. my first day getting the issue revolver, i went to clear the gun at the counter, ie: open the cylinder. the cylinder/crane slide out of the frame and hit the counter. the retaining screw was missing. these weren't gun guys so to them as long as it locked up when you shut the cylinder you were good to go. they had no parts and sending it out or even back to smith was out of the question. i found out the guy before me who had it didn't realize there was an issue. so i carried my own gun. very much frowned upon, they liked revolvers in .38 with a 6 round capacity. ok, i'm done.i refused to carry the gun they issued and used one of my own.
Like the RMV police way back. That was sucked into the state police. Early retirement glory for those RMV boys and girls.Ridiculous.. I would carry a good retention holster. Wear a vest and at the most work with the RMV employee to have the ability to say "you have to leave or I'm calling the police". That's it....unless someone tries to shoot you. Considering the amount of money Massachusetts tax payers pay should have a state trooper detailed there or start a small public safety department make them special state Police and that's it.
Say you work for armored car co and you have to plug someone because they tried to kill you. Is the armored car co going to pay your legal
fees for crim defense?
I would think, since this is the sole reason for the job, that the company would handle this.IMHO if something goes wrong, you are going to be left in the wind to deal with the ramifications on your own.
I did not see OP make mention of any policy one way or the other, so this is pure conjecture.You as an employee do something specifically against company policy but required to save your life or prevent injury. The employer will immediately fire you saying you went against company policy and you are left to face any ramifications on your own.
