Mach IVshooter: Maybe a smaller gun would work then....if I could carry. The smallest I have is a Taurus 85. I don't really think I could carry it though because I'm constantly going in atics, under houses, and other awkward places, along with all the other debris I'm exposed to at a construction site.

B yond: I'm in San Diego county. We don't get permits here unless you rich enough and know the right people. I'm hoping that I get in with the Sheriff's department sometime soon, I'm in the hiring process right now.
 
Work at a hotel.

Wear a shoulder holster under top shirt and Smith 6904.

Obviously hotels carry a no weapon policy, even frown on knives, so ya.
 
i own my own business and carry every day. :D i fully encourage any and all legal carry in my store. for customers and employees. it's good to be the boss.
 
I work for a Government agency and carying is a no no. But I have had to spend a lot of time in Douglas Az on the border. My boss knows I have a ccw and told me that he didn't want to know what I did but to be safe down there.
 
Always.

There is a policy against it.


However they don't have any metal detectors or mind reading devices operational at the present time. :D
 
I work as a gunsmith in an "evil black rifle" facility. We were required to obtain a CHL prior to being hired and are required to carry at work. Best job in the world!
 
Medical office, I own it. Carry every day. Wife is an HR manager, cannot carry or have a firearm in the car, so does not. Knife, Sharkie, and some time learning about improvised weapons has to do for her.

I'm an electrician, and I carry at work. The owner of the company, vice president, and my immediate supervisor all carry daily, so it isn't an issue with my employer. I just have to be discreet about it around customers. I bought a Kel-Tec PF-9 specifically for carry at work because I didn't have any sub-compact pistols, and I carry IWB in a Crossbreed Supertuck, usually with my company logo T-shirt tucked in.
 
I can't at work, but if something goes down I can be outside the back door and in my car with whichever gun I have in the car in about 10 seconds

I'm working on getting the sign taken down at work though. Wish me luck
 
For those who carry at work against their employers wishes, perhaps you should obtain new employment. You did agree to follow the rules of the employer so taking the paycheck while brazenly breaking the rules is lying. I would resign or give my boss an ultimatum, that either a be allowed to carry at work or I will be leaving. That seems to be the high road thing to do.
 
I carry while at work.I service/work on elevators in pretty much every kind of building you can think of.Many in some VERY high crime areas.Company would'nt like it,but I really don't care.Even in these hard times I can/will find another job,can't replace my life.
 
carrying while working

stuckinsocal

when I had a job I worked construction and carried everyday.
I have a S&W 340PD 357mag in my front pocket for the last 6-8 years.
did not matter if I was wearing a tool belt, climbing through rafters it was with me.
nobody knew I was carrying and never suspected it.
wear pant a size or two bigger so they are baggy and slip it in your pocket:D
 
I'm one of three owners of the business. I've carried every day for the last 8 years. If the other partners know, they've never mentioned it and I don't feel the need to confirm it nor justify it :D
 
StuckinSocal, I was wondering if you even need a permit to carry at work. I live in NH, in this state a ccw is not required at home or at work

(N.H. R.S.A. 159:4) 2. Carrying Without a License: It is illegal, under New Hampshire law, to carry a pistol or revolver concealed upon your person, except in your dwelling or house, or place of business, without a license; whoever violates this section shall, for the first offense, be guilty of a MISDEMEANOR. For the second or subsequent violation of this section, such person shall be guilty of a CLASS B FELONY.

So with this in mind I was going through California gun law. I have to admit this was no small task, CA has alot more code than NH in this. So after a while I came apon this. California Penal Code Section 12031

(h) Nothing in this section shall prevent any person engaged in any lawful business, including a nonprofit organization, or any officer, employee, or agent authorized by that person for lawful purposes connected with that business, from having a loaded firearm within the person's place of business, or any person in lawful possession of private property from having a loaded firearm on that property.

If I were you I would read through this to be sure. the wording is vague. and earlier it outlines basically that only LEO and retired LEO are allowed to carry permitless. a lil confusing. It may take a good hour to read through all of it, I just skimmed. Here is a link http://www.californiaconcealedcarry.com/legal/pc12031.html

Also toward the end it says you can carry legally if you felt that you were in extreme danger such as you filed a restraining order etc... and that the court will take that into account if you violated CA CCW laws. So if you could convince the court that you believed your life was in grave danger they would wave any ccw charges. Id recomend erring on the side of caution here especially if you want to be a LEO.

I own a convenience store and there is at least one employee carrying on every shift and most times there are two of us carrying.

I'd be interested in learning from someone such as yourself, that's in the business, whether most convenience store owners are now requiring that employees have CCW training and instruction. Is there a retailer association specific to your industry that advocates this? How do you deal with that aspect of their employment?

Actually, you're not agreeing that you won't be carrying. What you're agreeing to is that you'll be fired if they catch you. Seriously. Read your company policy.
 
I carry at work. I am a Vice President of a company that provides services to the Department of Defense. I’ve been carrying my little friend (S&W 642 with a Crimson Trace) around for years. She rests quite comfortably in an Uncle Mikes #3 pocket holster. This combination is so comfortable that I also were it around the house.
 
Private corporate office. No carrying, not even a pocket knife. No car lockbox. Campus is guarded by Securitas rent-a-cops. Zero deterrent as far as I'm concerned.

At least the campus is huge and I have quick access to several laboratories with very sturdy locked doors. If I get hurt, I'm suing my employer for big money. They can definitely afford it considering they just made a $1.4 billion legal payoff without even blinking.
 
I own the business , carry all day , every day . Glock ( big surprise ) 26 IWB on left side . My son carries at work as well . Employees are welcome to but most don't . It will be a better world when law abiding citizens are encouraged to protect themselves .
