It would seem that he said that more in the line of empowering himself somehow... y'know, sometimes people will state stuff in the "i can, but i won't" just to pass an image of power an authority, when in reality they feel pretty powerless and maybe even scared. Good thing you're concerned though... regardless of how well things seems to be, it always hard to have a job where things can turn REALLY bad in the blink of an eye.
Other than that... yeah, if not a mace, at least a Stun Gun!
