Just got my CCW in Ohio. Called my boss and told him I would be CC in the company car and he gave me his approval. Other than that I am on the road all the time so working out of the company car and not really in an office. However, my customers place of business will dictate what I'll have to do on their property.

Unfortunately, since I work at a defense contractor, it is a federal felony to bring any kind of weapon on the property. Including the parking lot. Funny how workers at a DEFENSE facility are denied the ability to defend themselves.
i choose not to risk a federal fireams violation on us gov't property, so i don't carry on work days.
sign upon entering parking lot, "no guns, knives, weapons on premesis".
"may the force be with you"
Since I own my business and am my own boss, I can and do carry at work!![]()

I have in the past so I can say most certainly yes I would. It is more common that these are the places targeted for violence. School shootings, College shootings, mall shootings, post office shootings, look at the policies of places that have a history of work place violence. I wouldn't do my kids any good if the day I didn't have it was the day my worksite was targeted.
While lots of people say it won't happen at my worksite, I am sure the people who it did happen to thought the same thing. My gun is my American Express and to be honest when I left the place that wouldn't let me I had no problems finding another job that even paid more money.
I could carry at work (FFDO) but it seems like a giant pain in the ass, from application to class scheduling (which we don't get leave for) to handling on duty and dealing with security ... not worth it to me. Besides, I got a nice sharp crash axe right behind my seat.
Funny I thought about the same thing earlier.
I agree, dont ask, dont tell.
I do not and will not carry at my work place, it is against regulations and I would be fired on the spot and most likely arrested. Besides that I work in the back where there is nothing but myself and 40 AMF pinspotter machines so its not very unlikely that ill be in any danger and if there were some maniac to come in we also have armed security there most of the time. Now I do carry my knife (considered a tool so its allowed) which offers some protection if I were to be approached in the parking lot.

I wish I could carry, but the Air Force/Military in general doesn't allow weapons to be transported on base. You have to declare your weapons and take them to the base armory, or I should say you're supposed to. I reside in off base housing in Albuquerque, so, I tend to keep a surprise well hidden. Doubt I could get away with carrying at work, but I wish I could, lots of messed up individuals in the military these days. Lack of discipline and bad up-bringings, just my opinion.
