Finally a bit of good news. After 2 years of playing Mr Mom to my two year old and being unemployed, I now have a steady job. Like most places it is one of those that have the large No Firearms, No knives, no alcohol etc etc signs. At new hire orientation I was told knives were fine (we open a ton of cardboard boxes) as long as the blade was 4" or less. Perfect, my daily pocket knife falls in that size.
So for 2 weeks I have carried my knife, on display with pocket clip showing past the security office in full view. Within 4 feet of the guards coming and going out of the plant waving everyday. Now for the ridiculousness of gun and weapon free zones. I asked the guard about the weapon policy and absolutely no knives allowed, not even box cutters unless they are provided inside.
So what do some of you do at work? I am considering getting a very small gun for pocket carry and carry anyway. Would rather be fired and alive than dead. Especially just 2 weeks ago, a fired former employee shot two co workers at a competitor's plant.
