Thank you. I appreciate that.
I'll say that employee safety is our top priority, and this is unequivocal. For me, it's my clear responsibility to keep our employees safe and the public safe, because post offices are public locations.
We did an internal safety assessment. We were not comfortable with the process that was being proposed in ongoing discussions over the last few months. Our position is that we're just not comfortable with elevated risk.
We're not set up for it. Our buildings are not set up with security or proper storage. The buildings aren't that secure overall in the way I'd like them to be. This is not in our expertise. This should be best left to those who know how to handle guns, how to dismantle them and how to manage them so that no one gets hurt. It is not something that we're comfortable with at all.
