New York police spokesman Paul J. Browne says that their records show only four Goldman employees have applied for gun permits in recent years — and the last application was made in 2003. That application, by the firm’s head of security for a “carry permit”, was granted. The only other employee granted a NYPD carry permit” is a building security guard. It was issued prior to 2003, said a police spokesman. Those applying for a permit must list their employer.

3. Because they don't have guns?

Carrying a gun doesn't stop someone from "taking a shot" at you. Unless maybe you're carrying it in a holster on your hip and you've practiced quickdraw so much that you can get a bullet in your attacker faster than his bullet can get into your brain even though he fired first.

Cowboy fantasies of gun owners.

NJ and CT?
