ATLANTA – A business owner in Georgia is requiring all of his employees to get a concealed carry license and arm themselves.
According to WSB-TV, each new employee to Lance Toland Associated, an aircraft insurance company, receives a new gun, known as the judge.
“Everybody has one of these in their drawer or on their person. I would not want to come into one of my facilities,” Toland told WSB-TV. “It’s a five shot .410, just like a shotgun and you call it hand cannon.”
Toland decided to arm his employees after hearing about recent home invasions in the Atlanta metro area.
“They all had their conceal carry permit within three to four weeks of me announcing that this was something you had to do,” he said. “With the presentation of their license, they all got a .410 Judge pistol.”
Besides the Atlanta area, Toland has offices in the Griffin and St. Simons Island.
