Scenario;
You work for a small company and are one of the few registered gun owners in it. You plead to upper management the need for security in your work place. They agree that security is a necessity and appoint you as chief of security operations. Guidelines are put in place in the following order. (Please correct me if I left out important procedures)
Rule 1. When in doubt, call the police.
Rule 2. Ensure safety for all employees.
Rule 3. Secure area until proper authorities arrive.
Upper management has agreed to a budget, which includes your own personal closet with basic tactile security items in which only you can access. The items include first aid kits, armor, knives, a rifle, ammunition, and a communication device. Would this be legal?
As time goes on, an employee or maybe even an outside vendor such as another company’s truck driver is down on their luck. With job cut backs, last minute changes in their work schedule and the possibility of their spouse cheating on them or ending a marriage they flip. They can’t take it anymore; they break from a cold sweat and draw a weapon. In this case well say a knife. They stab one of the shippers in your company and cut another who is trying to flee.
As soon as people realize what is going on an announcement is heard over the intercom systems. “Code blue, Code blue”, the day you have been preparing for but hoped would never come is knocking on your door. The emergency button is pressed and you know that its going to be a good 5-10 minuets before help arrives. You are quick to get you armor and riffle. as you leave your closet, you see a defenseless employee running in between to storage racks in the warhouse trying to stay clear of the madness; the psychotic knifeman sees them and heads their way. It is up to you to save this persons life. He is swinging the blade left and right; he is about 15 feet away, almost within striking distance of the employee. From a across the isle you have a clear shot on the knifeman nervous about what is happening you have him in your sights, you take a deep breath and for what seems to be eternity you pull the trigger twice and watch the knifeman fall to the ground as he is looking at you. As you are checking the status of the person who was in the path of the knifeman you began to hear sirens in the distance, you clear your riffle secure it and walk out side with your hands up to avoid being misrecognised.
What can be done different about this?
What can you expect to happen from the police?
What laws are being broken?
What is likely to happen to you?
