I think Lou is being very irrational for continuously rubbing up Joan and Myra the wrong way. They could both put her in her place with room to spare and if she isn't careful it will be like being between the devil and the deep blue sea with nowhere to run.

Even in the U.S. only perimeter and tower guards have guns. I can't imagine a use of force incident that would legally allow a guard to shoot into a crowded prison of unarmed inmates. And the only way an inmate would have a gun is if they stole it from an armed guard. The way they are talking about gun safety while waiving and aiming the gun at other people is laughable.
