It looks like a company in Wisconsin didn’t get the whole gun control memo, after they decided to give every employee a handgun as a Christmas present. Last year, Ben Shot, a company that produces novelty glassware embedded with a bullet, stated that giving their employees a choice of revolver as a gift is part of an effort to promote team building and personal safety.

The company has 16 full-time employees, including several veterans, and some who have never fired a gun. This is the first time the company decided to give employees a handgun. The father-son business started in 2015 in a small garage workshop in a village of 3,000 residents, 100 miles northwest of Milwaukee.

A little more back country here, but one of our now gone logging operations would annually ask employees to list the make, model, and caliber of a rifle they'd like for Christmas. They could pick them up at the LGS the day after.

It could be embarrassing for an employee with a past criminal record when he couldn't accept the gun.
