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.

I guess I should have guessed that about you too.

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.

In all actuality, I'm a free market capitalist and strict constitutionalist which all translates into mainly Libertarianism, but not a Ron Paul fan.

Although I just took a political orientation test and it put me in the libertarian camp, but closer to the center than I would have thought.

Of course, this just makes me love you more.

If the business owner allows it, then I don't see any problem. If the owner does NOT allow it, any 2nd Amendment argument is irrelevant.

It makes the insurers happy.

As the Supreme Court has ruled, in the United States the police have no dutyto protect anyone. You are on your own. (2005 Castle Rock v. Gonzalez). Knowing this, I would carry. If there would be a justified shooting, I would not dream of firing the employee.
