[QUOTE="Zowert, post: 4292339, member: 71957"] I agree with this. Being armed on the job is just too much of a liability, especially for those who deliver to gun free zones. They’d have to disarm and rearm themselves every time they deliver, which means handling a loaded gun and increasing risk. Jumping in and out of a truck, lifting irregs up stairs, all the moving around involved in bulk stops, etc.. Doing that stuff with a firearm on you doesn’t seem very safe to me. I’m sure there are many who’d disagree though. Pepper spray on the other hand is a good idea. It may not be the best tool against an armed robber, but at least it would give you a better chance to save your life if running isn’t an option. Also it would come in handy against aggressive dogs. Oh and I’ve come into contact with a cloud of bear spray, that stuff is absolutely brutal. Literally the most agonizing 15 minutes of my life. I could barely even breathe while I desperately poured water on my face, even dunked my head in a river. I’d rather be shot than go through that again, my god... [/QUOTE]
