Carry at work or not?

[Schmit]

I carried concealed after I got my CCW licence when I was still in the Corps. Some COs knew, others didn't.

First job out of the Corps carried concealed, boss knew (even introduced me as "This is Schmit, Our Marine Gunny, can hit you with his sniper rifle as long as he can see you." (Man, I hated that!)

Next job, carried exposed on drop down tigh rig, company issued to all management.

Current job. Don't carry. We have enough loaded shop guns around that I'm easily in reach of no matter where I'm at.

I don't know. My employer has a no weapons on premises policy. It's a tough question. It's easy to say it's only a job and you can find another one. Yet, I do hiring and I see in the applications on my desk a bunch of desperate unemployed people not being able to find jobs at their previous level. On one hand you can say, at least I'll be alive for my family. On the other hand, you can say if I don't carry at work, I'll not mess up a good thing for my family by risking my job and income. It's simply not an easy question.

That's the situation I'm in. Does taking the chance of getting caught and fired outweigh the slim possibility that I might actually be in a situation where I wish I had the gun?
