Pizza Fight

Kevin Drum, reacting to Glenn Reynolds' anger that a Pizza Hut employee was suspended for shooting an armed robber, breaking the company's policy against employees carrying guns:

I guess this is the aspect of the gun rights crowd that perplexes me the most. It's easy to understand their view of the Second Amendment (a view that I partly share), and it's easy to understand, in general, their view that citizens should be free to own guns if they want to. But this Wild West mentality is much harder to fathom. Do they really think that, for example, pizza delivery guys should routinely wear sidearms and engage in gun battles with crooks, and that employers should (apparently) have no right to prevent it?
