Long time reader, first time poster here. Like the title says, I am looking for peoples opinions on the best way to change an anti-gun company policy. The company I work for has a policy that guns, weapons or "dangerous devices" are not allowed on company property - even locked in my car in the parking lot. The policy even goes so far as to say that a dangerous device is anything used with the intent to cause harm even for self defense! So, according to the policy, if I use a tire iron to defend myself from a mugger in the parking lot, I could be fired. Add to that my workplace isn't exactly in the safest place and our "security" is notably sparse after dark and the folks doing the job during the day I think I could outrun at a slow jog... While my workplace isn't open to the public, it still sucks that I have to disarm at home before going to work.
I was thinking about this the other day and thinking that if this was a business, I wouldn't shop there. Of course, then I remembered that we do sell stuff! While I would love to just jump out and suggest everyone write letters and boycott, I do like a paycheck and wonder if the right thing to do wouldn't be to try and change things internally. So, what say you? Throw it out to the public or try to get corporate HR to change company policy?
