Everybody where I work has a CCW. The owner, one of his sons and me carry daily. The other guys do occassionally.
Does your employer let you CCW?

No firearms allowed on company property. About 70% of the workforce carries at least one knife. Some more. Not that unusual when working for a knife manufacturer.
No guns, ammo, knives, etc....not even in the car. Even box cutters have to be the self- contained type. I'm serious. Golf clubs are O-tay though...even when weilded by screaming, angry people, who suffer from small putter syndrome and anger issues.

Bad juju if I were to get caught with a weapon on me. I'm not in the type of job that lets me near weapons in any official capacity much.
That being said, while at home port, I arm up as soon as I get home every day. I carry 24-7 while not actually at work.

I have not seen any signs or rules in the employees handbook which prohibit carrying. However, there is a nursing school on the hospital campus whose rulebook states no weapons are allowed anywhere. I'm not a student (I'm a doctor), and they never gave me a copy of the nursing students manual. I don't let anyone know if I am carrying a pistol, so (If I ever did ) how would they know, if it is concealed. I carry a small "utility" knife, which I use somewhat discretely. I almost want someone to say a surgeon cannot have a knife in a hospital... let's see how many people would appreciate surgery with a spoon.

One of the best boats I ever ran was a 45 Hatteras owned by a guy that was one hell of a blues guitar player. We travelled internationally, and carried shotguns, handguns, and a registered Class Three Colt's SP1 with a DIAS.
The rifle was built long before the lid went on, and the owner did the proper paperwork, and paid the $200 tax.
I still talk to him from time to time, and I'm trying to convince him to turn it into an M4. Heck, he can make it anything he wants.
Cool boat, cool boss, cool job.
Then I got married.

I work for a DoD contractor; our company handbook forbids carrying. I could leave it in the car, but the problem there is if I have to go to the base I can't even have it in the car.
Once I get my CCW, I am thinking of asking the boss if there's something we can arrange for when I do have to go to the base or somewhere else where I can't have it in the car.

Our policy seems to be to avoid having a policy... The CEO has a permit, but dosen't carry. Basically we run gas stations, and lots of the quickie mart managers have permits. Occasionally one does something unfortunate... one night manager just got arrested for firing a "warning shot" into the ground after a guy he confronted about shoplifting beef jerky slugged him in the face. Still, on a good weekend a night manager could be depositing 10k in cash at the end of his shift...
I know of one guy who worked in the main office who was fired because of his CCW related demeanor (all summer you'd hear "Damn, it's hot, and I can't take off my jacket because of my GUN!" which was annoying)
As far as I understand, it's if you've got the permit, fine, but you own your own screwups.
By the way, capnrik, what was the name of that Hatteras? We bought a boat matching the description some years ago, and the owner left a bunch of Federal 12ga aboard when we got it.

My boss(me) encourages it at all times!

I work for the University of Colorado. They think they're allowed to ban weapons.
Whether they can or not, I'm just an employee-at-will, so they could fire me even if I could dodge whatever charges would come up.

capnrik- That's outstanding.
Having a FA AR type lower is gold, you can really make it nearly anything you want from a standard 20" service rifle, to a belt-fed.
Good times.

No firearms allowed on company property at all...of course, we aren't supposed to have cell phones, either. Like I obey that rule.

No. Federal employee, work in an FAA building. Not even allowed to have an unloaded firearm with no available ammunition in a locked case that I've lost the key for in my trunk which is welded shut (made that one as a "what if" up whilst screwing with a supervisor ) in the parking lot.
If for some reason I'm out carrying and have to go to work, I park across the street. Luckily that parking lot is in plain view of our security guard, well lit, and we're in a low traffic-low attention high-police-presence zone (dead end street, you pretty much have to work back there to have any interest in being back there).

I have never worked anywhere with a metal detector, nor have I ever held a job that was more important to me than my ability to defend myself.

At my retirement job at America's favorite waterpark the company policy says no weapons. That might be understandable when you consider that the average age is about 17. They have "blanket" policies for everything. Too hard to make exceptions for old codgers.

Atc1man,
It's more a matter of having low priority jobs (I'm not the primary breadwinner in our family; my paychecks have always been small and secondary) and putting a very high priority on self defense.
Plus, as I said, I've never worked anywhere with a metal detector at the front door.

I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. -- Robert A. Heinlein

I see no state law barring it, and I can't find anything barring it in the employee handbook. so, as far as I'm concerned, concealed is concealed.

Well, when I filled out my Oregon CHL paperwork, I was required to give my employer's name, address and phone number.
Anticipating a call by the Sheriff to my employer, I gave the employer a heads up.
He then wrote me a memo saying that he hated guns, but respected my 2nd amended rights. He then, in this memo, said I am not to every carry a piece at the office, and then put said memo in my personnel file.
I felt screwed, but that didn't stop me from carrying ONE day. Still pisses me off about the placement of the memo in my personnel file. I know that if I'm caught, he'll surely use the memo against me and then fire me.
Oh well, I ain't stopping. Been a couple of years now.

I work for an airline, on the other side of the checkpoint. Carry at work? I don't think so. Doesn't mean I don't think about it occasionally, though.

Yep, my employer is excellent about letting me carry.
