Dave,
“There must be better public safety options.” If you have any please state your solutions. There have been robbers and murderers since Abel and Cain. Since mankind existed there has been crime. There has not been any solutions that exist other than self defense. It is not a guarantee, but if gives a better chance of survival.
If you do not feel comfortable with having a piza delivered to your door by a delivery person that is possibly armed, then do not order pizza to be delivered.
Personally, I think you are very selfish in order for you to feel comfortable that the poor delivery person is supposed to allow himself to be killed. The delivery person already loses his job since most pizza companies have that as reason for termination.
Delivery people go to poor areas that are high in crime for low wages and now you want them to die also, rather than defend themselves. You must be thankfull that you do not need to take such risks in order to provide a living.
