So I got a new job now that I have moved back to michigan from NC. I am doing industrial security and hopefully I will start going back to college so I can find something better. Anyways, my new job is 100% anti: CCW, guns, weapons of any kind, pepper spray etc and they probably won't like the 4D maglite I keep in my bag. They made us watch a few videos on security and workplace violence as part of our training and one of these videos covered workplace shootings.
Some of the warning signs they said you should look out for included 'interest in firearms', and specifically 'an interest in semi-automatic weapons or assault weapons'. I became annoyed with this and scoffed at the idea when the instructor asked me what we should look out for while on duty. I informed her that I was an avid shooter and interested in firearms of all types, yet I've never had the desire to go anywhere and shoot people. The rest of the class kinda looked at me like I was nuts for having the gall to admit to such a crazy hobby and the instructor lady said that this was the best way to spot nuts who might shoot the place up.
I'm really surprised to have found such madness in michigan, hunting and shooting sports seem pretty prevalent here. Now i'm afraid to bring my gun magazines to work for fear of being reported and I am thinking about peeling my NRA stickers off the car and lunch box so I don't get 'randomly searched'.
