What's worth more to you, your life or your job?
This is a false dichotomy.
What's worth more to you, your life or your job?
I can not disagree with your shooting statements as I do not have evidence to the contrary but shootings are by no means the only or even the worst crime. "Gun Free Zones" are breeding centers for crime and crimes of violence. You are much more likely to be a victim or witness to a crime in a Gun Free Zone than in areas that citizens are allowed to defend themselves"gun free zones" have never been shown to increase shootings.
Don't play that excuses game. I despise people doing that. The management sets all the policies of their company, not the insurance company. While they may not be able to afford a policy that covers CHL holders, it doesn't mean they don't have that option. There is a big difference between being mandated, which implies they have no choice, and having a choice but being unable to go that route. A fine point but one that should not be overlooked when your life is balanced v/ your job
the employer created a policy, that, only applies to the people I work with but NOT guests, customers, suppliers or the employees of the other companies that lease space in the same facility. How dumb is that!
Uh...so you'd feel better if they DID post a couple of big "SELF-DEFENSE FREE ZONE" signs up, so that everyone would KNOW you can't carry there???
Would you rather be dead or without a job? Would you rather be dead or in jail for a week or 2?

Everything you say is true -- but why not have one more very effective last resort?357wheelgunner said:I think that if you feel helpless without a gun on your hip, you need to workout and train harder in running away, awareness, and unarmed fight-ending, then remember that the odds of a workplace shooting are much lower than the already-low odds that you'll get mugged walking at night in a bad neighborhood.

Also know your rights. If for any reason a cop wants to search you while at work (what are the odds) tell him that you will not consent to a search of your person and he has no reason to suspect you of committing any crime. If your company decides to fire you for this, you may want to consider contacting a lawyer for a wrongful termination suit. There's no reason you should be fired for exercising your constitutional rights.
Ever notice how many gun people seem to be big and tough with their guns, but become defenseless bowls of jello without them?
If you feel defenseless without a firearm, then you have numerous serious shortcomings in your personal security.
Being without a gun should never be interpreted as being defenseless.
But let's say Joe Robber comes up to two stores in a strip mall (that sell the same items). One has the "gunbuster" sign on the front door, the other does not...
If YOU were Joe Robber, which store would YOU prefer to hit?
(Assuming that Joe Robber has two brain cells to rub together - not quite a certainty...)
Let me pose a question/situation to everyone. If your place of business had recently had an incident with an armed individual and you were a CCH holder, would you carry your weapon at work? Take under consideration the business has a policy in place of no weapons at the workplace.
