I couldn't disagree more.

Do you have an LEO detailed to your protection? If not YOU are responsible for your own personal security. Some of us are more serious about that than others.

By the same token, as already stated, if you are caught in violation of a formal company policy, you risk being fired.

There are people in this country right now who would do the samer thing to you that was done to Sharon Tate, or to more recently to Mr. Berg. The only thing preventing that at any given moment is you, and your co-workers ability to protect yourselves. When the average response time to a "shots fired" call exceeds 60 seconds, what will you do to protect yourself till they arrive and form a perimeter to sort out the situation?

With your stated position, will you be crying and hiding under your desk if it happens at your workplace, waiting endlessly for the LEOs to arrive, or fighting to survive with no weapons because the corporate entity told you it was wrong?

You make your decisions, then you live (or die) with the consequences.
