That's a shame, and the employer being demanding might contribute to the response of the SI.

Is there any possibility of working at home or another site?

I worked with one guy who I thought was a possible threat. I don't want to go into details, but I think he had a personality disorder. I wasn't the only one who felt that way. He did get laid off and nothing happened.

The CI could arrange some vacation or "get sick." When fired people go postal, it's usually with a couple of days of being fired.

Yes, but they would rather you quit instead of being fired. Then they don't have to pay unemployment.

It would look real bad if you were fired for violating a weapons policy.
