Can not carry at work

It is only recently, after MANY green on blue shootings, that they are considering allowing SOME soldiers in CERTAIN bases to carry their weapons loaded.

Federal property...

I work on airport property so no handgun or even a knife is allowed to be carried on the property. We have a very large facilities MX group that use knives for all sorts of things so they changed the rules to say that you can't carry a knife on your person but you can carry one in your tool bag. That makes it a tool. LoL

The stupidity of people never ceases to amaze me. I asked one of our security directors if my work truck was considered a deadly weapon. He said no...I replied well what if my truck contacted a parked aircraft, running about 90 mph with a full tank of gas? He said that until it did that, it wasn't considered a deadly weapon...just a truck. LoL

My company's policy is that employees be armed at all times while on duty.






Of course, I own the company!

I worked at Gander mountain a few years ago and they had an anti concealed weapon policy for employees, but customers could carry. I carried my Golck 26 anyway and figured if anyone busted me I could just find another job. I never got "caught", but I did find another job though. I never would have guessed that gander would have such a policy. Cool store though.

I manage a bar in Texas. It is a felony for most folks to carry inside the building. As luck would have it, I am not one of those folks. It took a bit for the owner to be comfortable with the idea. After he got comfortable, I even got him to have the bar to pay for my initial CHL. As the General Manager, I require myself to carry at work. I would hate to get fired.

I'm one of the unfortunate ones that cant carry at work either. I did once just to test my luck, but after seriously considering the "No Weapons" rule I decided never to do it again. The weapons stay in the car now.

My place of employment? The largest hospital system in my state.

Required to carry per company policy.
My retirement job is in a gun store.

I work in a State run public building. Open and concealed carry are allowed on the premises...just not by employees. There is also no armed security in the building, except for the very rare times the police come through. I have seen open carry in the building before and I am 100% positive that there is legal and illegal concealed carry going on in the building as well.

Pretty sure guns are allowed in locked cars though, since Virginia just passed a law which prohibited local governments from prohibiting guns in locked cars.

I used to work for an "institution of higher education". Hiring policy said I had to be unarmed "on campus" but I had an agreement with the office of campus safety where I could secure my firearm(s) there so that I could go to the range on my way home once a week. Effectively disarmed though.

Now I manage a transportation company. We operate officially on a strict "don't ask, don't tell" but "on the side" I offer a steeply discounted certification course to any employee interested in getting their CCW permit.

Kentucky has a law that allows weapons to be carried while traveling to and from work. Where I work, weapons must be locked inside your vehicle while you are on company property. I worked there for over 20 years before this law went into effect. It was sorta like "Don't ask, don't tell." I always had my weapon in my car.

I work at a TX Public School and we have a conflict with the Feds on this issue. TX says we can with a state CCW have it on us while in our auto or secured in the auto if we come inside the building the Feds basically have a Gun Free Bubble around any public school. I talked to my School Board and was cleared. So when I work the gate I carry it after we get in the car to go to the bank off campus.

My employer is a gun person. Policy is NO WEAPONS on property. Insurance reasons of course, but also because a large percentage of employees are not old enough or legally responsible enough, and because of the high collateral casualty environment/ baf PR/ civil liability target our public face presents. Texas has a parking-lot law, but I'm not fool enough to rub any noses in it.

Where I work, the owners are gun people and the boss carries at work. We all bring in our new toys to show them off to each other, etc.

We are allowed to carry, but it's usually not practical given the shop environment.

So mine is usually locked up either in my car or tool box.

im screwed a work and home.

i still live on base so i cant have my guns....

Teacher, so nope.

my boss is a gun guy for sure(bought me a colt 6920 as a bonus). i could carry if i wanted too, but i work on irrigation systems, so i get wet and muddy. with the hot climate here, i wear loose t-shirts and shorts most of the time. we will have open carry next month, but mine will stay in the truck.

Not allowed inside, but allowed in my car

Nope, I work on Federal property and am subject to have my vehicle searched. In this economy, just glad to be employed so won't do anything to jeopardize that.

I don't know...a lot of the local gun-related facilities (i.e. gun shop, range, etc.) almost seem to not allow their workers to conceal carry...most workers I've seen in these places OC.

As is the case of a couple other posters I could carry (we have a mandatory show and tell policy) but it's not feasible considering the environment. It is locked in my tool box with fairly quick access though. When I leave to look at a job offsite it goes with me.

Someone would have to come up with a really good reason for me to work for a place with a no-gun policy. Sure, you could hide it, but it's telling of their mentality.

Sure, a couple of questions though.

1) Did this come to your attention before being hired? If it was enough to not work for them, why did you start in the first place.

2) If you do not mind me asking, what do ou not "fool" with polls?

Click to expand...

Polls are normally phrased in such a way as to skew the results. Not always, but often enough to prevent me from participating.

And no, I did not know this was company policy before I was hired. It was actually in the fine print of the company manual. I talked to my immediate manager about the policy. He was truly such an idiot I decided instead of speaking to him as an adult (which, clearly he was not), I would simply switch companies. Problem solved.

(I do so hate stupid people.)

School employee for now. Nothing more lethal than a butter knife, plastic...

Yes. We are allowed to carry at the small company I work for. I was in the CHL class with the company owner and one of my fellow co-workers back in 2008. We are not related to the firearms business, law enforcement, of military in any way.

I was going to say

about the same thing as Hypnogator. Being self employed does have its benefits.
