I do home health OT in the city and county. My company has a specific 'no weapons in the home' policy, which while I understand, given the climate of the last few years, I believe is outdated. Not because I'm afraid of the patients, but because of the crazy people on the streets without any regard for life. Every colleague I know carries pepper spray with them at minimum, but up against a gun, I don't think it's enough.
