A Georgia businessman is requiring his workers, who are predominantly female, to bear arms at the office.

Lance Toland said he’s determined to equip the dozen staffers at his aviation insurance office in Griffin after they obtain the proper training and a concealed carry license. And so far, Toland says, there have been “no dissenters” to the decree, which he claims is for self-defense. Only one worker griped because the guns he’s buying don’t come in pink, he quipped.

“This is a group of very, very professional women, well-educated, pilots, but they’re armed and they’re deadly,” Toland told The Daily Beast, adding, “so do not screw with us.”

The 61-year-old boss told Atlanta’s WSB-TV that he instituted the policy at Lance Toland Associates—which insures corporate aircraft across the world—after hearing of recent home invasions and violent crime in the metro area.
