(14,853 posts)There's also no reliable way to test their mental stability. It mostly comes down to criminal records, and those don't tell the whole story.
There was a company President at one of my past jobs who pointed his loaded pistol at the heads of managers at a meeting! He had a concealed carry license and no criminal record, but he was also one of those super-paranoid anti-Obama freaks.
When rumors of what happened leaked out, I was astounded that nobody in the meeting called 9-1-1 immediately on that nut! One of them said, "If you feel so strongly about it, why don't YOU call the cops?" I replied, "It's hearsay from me!"
Bunch of cowards. The President later addressed all of the employees to explain that it was just a "joke" and people needed to quit talking about it.
He was fired for some OTHER reason a few months later, thank goodness.
