Sir, as a part of my job I routinely fail to use Basic English. Sad, but true. I should have phrased it better and not relied on the context of my sentence to carry it's meaning to you, and I apologize for that.

Can anyone think of a company that encourages its employees to be prepared to defend themselves with weapons?
Blackwater
Gunsite
Thunder Ranch

To name three. Need more?
