What are the needs for concealed carry at Apple? For some reason this reminds me of Apple’s security team attempting to recover (by force) the lost iPhone 4.

The same reason there are needs for concealed carry every single place on Earth.

You don't want bad actors to know who is - and who isn't - armed.

It's just the cheaper (because there's a bunch of things more risky about it) equivalent of hiring a body guard. Why not?

Apple’s security chief should be fired over this. But, this is common practice where there are ‘may issue’ CCW permits. Either have shall issue, or no issue. Having the sheriff decide just creates a valuable commodity.

I lived there for 35 years.

Her Majesty Laurie only bestows a few CCWs to a handful of business people and her buddies. People can apply for CCWs all they want, but she'll never issue them willingly. She's a bureaucrat and a crook keeping the populace defenseless and maintaining LE job security.

I live in a nice area in a nice town. I work in a place that’s generally quite safe.

I still carry a gun. You never know.

Uh, do think any billionaire like Tim Cook can just drive themselves home, go to the supermarket, and throw legitimate concerns about being kidnapped to the wind?

(Although I did run into TC by himself over by Guy Kawasaki's old Garage Ventures' office in Menlo.)
