Well, I'm sure I could find you an IT job at my place Don.
I work in a BIG provincial crime lab (>200 employees) with an arsenal
down the hallway in the middle of the red light district of Canada's
biggest city and homicide capital. My home, Toronto. I dodge street
urchins everyday to and from my car to my office (I park blocks away)
and during breaks through the day when I go out for a coffee or lunch.
I too have never needed the need to carry a handgun, not that I could
if I wanted to anyway.
We up here constantly just shake our heads in wonder at this "everyone
must have a gun" mentality down south. It really is quite baffling and
twisted logic.
