    Of the nine people in our section, me and one other guy had guns. At the new job, I'd say it's closer to 50% have guns.

      That should make code reviews rather politer than normal.

      We have the upper hand on the Indian contingent because none of them have guns. :)

            The folks there appear to be a very pro-gun group of folks - it seems like a good number of people brings guns to work (leaving them in their cars of course). The work looks real interesting, too. :)

                I admit my prejudice, that was my first thought. I blame watching too many western films in childhood for that. And some contemporary YouTube videos. :)

                              just out of curiosity, how are you leaving your guns in your cars? aren't you worried about it getting stolen? here's it's a crime to leave your gun in a non secure environment (which is why mine is in a secure location at home when i'm not shooting it)

                                  So you're taking the place of someone who couldn't sprint to his car as fast as the others?

                                    Apparently so. Actually, the guy was Indian, so he probably wasn't armed. :)

                                      Probably Nevada or Montana if I were to guess. I know the state I am in is pretty gun friendly. The problem is convincing the girlfriend to let me drop $5k for a 0.50 rifle.

                                        just out of curiosity, how are you leaving your guns in your cars? aren't you worried about it getting stolen? here's it's a crime to leave your gun in a non secure environment (which is why mine is in a secure location at home when i'm not shooting it)

                                        How is a locked car not a secure environment?
