Commentary:
Many businesses allow customers with CHLs to patronize their establishments, but have policies which prohibit employees from bearing arms for self-defense while at work.
Statistics show most multiple victim public shootings occur where firearms are banned. There are no credible studies that show increased dangers to businesses because of concealed carry, yet many prove the benefits.
