Most of the workplace rules banning firearms are for fear of liability--if the company allows firearms and someone gets hurt, there might be liability. It makes the insurers happy.

I like that even better! Not just because of the philosophy itself but also because it still drives some people crazy. And it's fun to drive some people crazy.

Libertarian(ish) here! I guess I should have guessed that about you too.

All the really cool kids are libertarian(ish). I'm not hardcore, but generally think people should be responsible for themselves.

I figured you had a liberatarian streak in you with your last job, and your brilliant advice.
