> as an interviewer I would bring it up in the interview to point out that he'll have to work with whatever tech stack we use, and should we switch to Rust, would it be a problem?

And you'd have no problem with your coworkers always keeping a gun on them? This seems like a recipe for a workplace incident

I haven't seen the actual blog post, but my understanding was the comment was about Rust conferences, not workplace.

But sure, the workplace will usually have a policy about guns, and that's more an HR problem than a problem for me as an interviewer. And I'd put the burden on him to enquire about that aspect.

GP carries concealed, so by definition you wouldn't know. If you did know, then it's no longer concealed and that's a different issue.

But (depending on where you live) you'd also be surprised how many coworkers carry guns with them. At one company I was shocked. HR put a policy prohibiting concealed carry, and damn near 80% of my team took serious issue with it. It felt like I had accidentally walked into an NRA meeting or something. There were never any issues, and we tended to get into some heated arguments at that place. Turns out most gun carriers recognize and respect the gun and don't just pull it out and start shooting people every time they get offended.
