No.
Apparently, they also think it's better for people to be unarmed victims.

Texas: McDonald's Employee May Lose Job After Shooting
Posted on Friday, June 30, 2000 at 11:35 AM by msolomon
Found on California NRA Website: This June 29, 2000, houston.com article reports, "Teroy Vance, owner of a McDonald's that was almost robbed Wednesday night, praised his employee for shooting two armed robbers. Thursday, Vance is faced with having to fire him. Willis Lee, a janitor at the McDonald's at 5301 East Freeway, shot the suspects as they were holding up a cashier. It is against McDonald's policy for employees to carry weapons. Vance said he was glad that Lee used his gun against the thieves. Police identified two of the three suspects as Clarence Davis Winslow and Timothy Lee Martin. The third suspect is still on the loose. Because of their gunshot wounds, Winslow and Martin ran to a nearby apartment complex and called for an ambulance. They are in fair condition at area hospitals. Vance told News2Houston that he was just leaving around 11 p.m. when he heard gunshots coming from inside his McDonald's. Vance and the other employees are calling Lee a hero. "

Edit to add:
Of course, it's too bad that Suzanna Gratia Hupp was forced by law to leave her legally owned and carried pistol in her car outside Lubys October of 1991.
Or maybe the gunman that killed 21 people that day would have simply taken it away from her and killed twice as many people.
Yeah, right.
