Despite our efforts to prevent it, the specter of gun violence continues to haunt businesses, schools, and government offices throughout the USA. Many incidents involve a disgruntled employee seeking revenge against a supervisor or other employees, but many of the attacks take place at locations that attackers seemingly choose at random. The only thing that all of these incidents seem to have in common is that they involve highly motivated individuals planning quick and violent ambushes that often claim dozens of victims in a matter of minutes (or even seconds).

No matter what we try to do to prevent it, gun violence is a problem that plagues our society. Desperate and seemingly harmless individuals continue to engage in premeditated violence and stage deadly assaults at schools, businesses, and churches, and when the smoke clears they leave destruction in their path. The police and first responders in our communities are always ready to spring into action when they’re needed, but often can’t get there until it’s too late! As a business owner, you owe it to yourself, your customers, and your employees to do everything that you can to keep your workplace safe.
