At one point Monday, the firm’s prior private security firm — whose contract was ended after it coordinated with DOGE — also appeared at the building, at one point “proceed[ing] to walk toward the Institute’s gun safe,” pushing USIP staff to ignite its lockdown policy.
I know literally no one who has a ethical reason for entering private security - some folks become cops for high minded reasons like wanting justice or to protect the vulnerable… private security is where the weak go when they’ve been rejected from being an actual LEO (usually due to being absolute turds, only rarely for physical fitness reasons).
I’m assuming it was originally for use by the private security personnel, since they knew where it was and apparently expected to be able to access it.
And/or, the institute may have a strict no-guns policy and the safe is for visitors to store their firearms when entering.
Are all private security firms that corruptible?

Also where a lot of washouts from the military wind up, often for the same reasons.
Why does the Institute of Peace have a gun safe?

Makes sense. Thanks for thinking it through for me. (:
Possessing weapons is not antithetical to peaceful endeavors and wishes.
