    Would you carry at work if ....


    Would you carry at your workplace even if you figured you'd get fired if you were 'caught'?

    I'm guessing it comes down to private property concerns for most of us. I'm going to guess that most will answer that they would and do carry at their workplace. Also i'd venture a guess that most people don't work in an environment where you could whip out your gun and show someone.. without getting a 'talking to' about workplace regulations... thoughts?

    No I would not carry at my former employers workplace. Per the employee hand book it was a offense that would get you fired. Also a weapon in your vehicle would also get you fired. I parked off company property so that was not a problem for me. I also traveled on company business around the world which left me unarmed in most countries. Sometimes weapons were available locally and if worked proprely you could be secure. In one muslim country I optained a AK with extra clips and two grenades for $250.00 US sold for same when I left.

    Absolutely NO!! I am not permitted to have a weapon on my person when I am at work. I could possibly get by with carrying a firearm since it is not real cleat in our employee handbook what the definition of weapon is. Im not really wanting to test the waters on this issue amd be made an examole of. I can however leave it in my vehicle. Although I would much rather have my firearm on me, I am simply not willing to risk losing my current job and possibly making it harder on myself to find another job by breaking this rule.

    I was always fortunate that my job (LEO) required a firearm. Now as a Pastor I am consider the President or CEO of the Church in the State of Texas. I can even open carry on the property because it is under my control.

    If I had a job that said no I would either not have that job anymore or I would be breaking the rules.

    It is my understanding that retired LOE can carry concealed nationwide, am I mistaken? Also in this day and age and state regs many of us cannot afford to break the rules or quit a job that pays the bills. I have no problem ignoring the gun laws that are illegal "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" If any guest at my home has a cocktail they are 1 required to check their gun at the door or B put their gun in their car or truck. 1 vs b intended rofl

    My job requires me to be on customer sites which they regulate the no carry. Our company policy mirrors the customers. I am around some nasty stuff and if shit hit the fan there is enough stuff around me to improvise if needed.

    No - it's an offense that could get me fired and I have a family to support. I carry a small Spyderco folder that I use to 'open boxes' though...

    All the more reason to look for a new job - which I have been doing for the past 2 years.
