I find it interesting so many think that the "law" is more important that "inalieanable Constitutional Right."
The "law" has been wrong before - there are consequences for breaking the law, and no one here advocates it. But the simple fact of the matter is that Officer discretion determines if you get arrested or not.
Much the same in the workplace - it's balanced by your effectiveness in your job. Getting a well trained employee who doesn't need constant supervision is something every workplace manager covets. It reduces his workload and he's loathe to fire one just because of a infraction. Many get a lecture on getting caught more than violating it. Those who fire someone often do so to prevent being fired, and so it goes up the chain. Nobody stands on principle.
I'm convinced those who are treating a rule infraction as some ethical fault aren't seeing things clearly. Company policies are regularly violated - and will be as long as profit is the final determination.
Those advocating that workplace rules are somehow more important than their Constitutional Rights aren't thinking ethically. They are the problem in the erosion over our Bill of Rights, not the solution.
Let's not forget that if we wait for the law to get there to protect us from someone breaking it, that the response time is longer than ordering the average pizza delivery. And that more people can dial the pizza number reflexively than 911.
What's your priortity at work? Do you have a plan to protect yourself at your office? If you really advocate having a gun free workplace, have you exercised what you will do when it doesn't happen and there is an active shooter stalking the hallways? It DOES happen, just the same as someone beating in your front door at home. Are you going to just take your chances with that?
For the gun free advocates at work, I'd like to hear your rehearsal of your last few moments cowering under your desk or hiding in your closet. It's the natural and logical result of supporting the no guns policy at your workplace.
A school teacher would at least shield some students from gunfire - will you go out onto the factory floor and do the same for your workers?
Be advised you might just be getting in the way. You didn't bring a gun to a gun fight and chose to be a victim. Go ahead and act out your part. Advocating that others do the same - commit suicide - isn't High Road and is illegal.
We don't do that here.
