Obviously photo-shopped. That silhouette is showing right handed carry on the left hip. Not at all convenient to draw the gun.

One of my duties at work was to setup, maintain, and calibrate fiber optic filament fusion splicers.
We designed a cart to carry the splicer, computer, monitor, keyboard, and related gear from work station to work station.
Naturally, it had a power strip attached to power up all the equipment.
We had one operator who plugged the power strip into itself and placed an emergency trouble call because her splicer would not work.
Even after several of us attempted to explain why that would not work, she continued to do it, so once or twice a week I had to drop what I was doing to go plug the power strip into a wall outlet.

And she was still allowed to operate the equipment?

The key word there being.... "she".

And she was still allowed to operate the equipment?

Unfortunately, yes.
There were 27 techs in our group, and she was responsible for more damage, downtime, and inoperable splicers than all the others combined. (documented)
But one of Honeywell's biggest problems was management's inability to admit any mistakes.
They could not admit they made a mistake hiring her, so they kept her, no matter what.

Honeywell isn't the only company where that happens. I submit to you the name of Jeff Immelt. Biggest mistake GE ever made, and wow are they paying for it now.

I’m retired now, but company I worked for the past 33 years employees like that less than 5 years tenure were fired; over 5 years, “promoted” to some newly made up position to isolate the damage. Kind of the same principle as cooling everything around a structure fire to stop the spread while allowing the structure of origin to burn.

Re: NCL4701...
They probably felt that they could not fire "her", because "she" would file a federal complaint for gender discrimination.
"cheaper to keep her".
