In a country with pretty strict controls on firearms - especially pistols - so this whole thing reads super weird to me.
Mental health concerns aside (and massive respect to you for being brave enough to be honest with yourself) what is the point of you having a gun in the first place? What does management expect you to do with that gun?
Putting myself in your place, if I'm supposed to stand there being a deterrent sure, but I'm not killing someone to stop them stealing stuff (you guys are insured), so unless I'm here to stop armed intruders hurting others (isn't that what the police are for?) or to defend myself (would I need to defend myself if I wasn't standing around with a gun, and again, if someone is trying to break in, wouldn't I be better to just avoid confrontation and call the cops?) what's the point of being armed in the first place?
