It is legal for an employer to have a no gun policy. if someone brought a handgun to work, that person would be breaking work policy but not breaking the law (as long as it wasn't a place prohibited by law to bring a handgun.

This stalker might be packing without a permit. So if he doesn't have a permit are you going to consider him unarmed????

Anything can be a weapon. Baseball bat, knife, your hands. Knowing who has a permit does nothing for anyone. Criminals are unlikely to have permits, so because they don't have a permit are you more comfortable walking past them on the street?
