How "Gun Friendly" is your place of work?

Zero tolerance - instant termination. A guy got suspended for three days because he had a G&A magazine and one of the sheeple felt uncomfortable.

I really hope the guy was handing out resumes for all 3 days. I would have. But then, I'm in the same boat as ZeSpectre, no one could stop anyone from carrying if they wanted to.
 
not one bit. Infact about a month ago a blanket email was sent out warning employees to be on the look out for employees who talk about guns. OR bragging about how much they shoot or what kind of guns they have. To avoid danger in the work place. So you have to just pretend like you have never heard of the word gun.
 
I will often ask what people carry, and we will compare firearms and discuss the relative merits of a 45 acp vs 357, I am a 357/44 mag fan. I am self employed and own and operate a self storage here in Fairbanks.
Most of my customers are rtkba folks.

Damn scrat you and a couple other guys got the really short end of the stick!
The above mentioned would probably drive me out of that company, I talk about guns all day long:eek:
 
Workplace forbids any weapons on the premises, including the parking area.
No issues so far, since you know what they say about concealed.
 
Hokkmike- Bring a gun where I work and get arrested, lose job, pay fine, and go to prison. (public school)

And just who do your employers expect to keep you safe? School security perhaps?
Gotta tell you, I've worked as a uniformed security officer at both high and jr high schools, and the "gun free zone" policy applies to me too :fire:

The nearest armed officer is only 20 minutes away, 10 minutes at code 3.
A lot can happen in 10 minutes.

My nearest officer is usually 60 seconds or less away.
A lot can happen in 60 seconds.Case in point:
November 22,1963: 3 shots,8.3 seconds.The world changed.
 
Very friendly, I just ordered some ammo from the Office Mgr., arranged to take the owners sweet sixteen home for a cleaning and arranged to check out a rifle the owners dad wants to sell. Oh and the guys in the shop are great, they made me a shootin' tree ( target)
 
Family farm. We have the best farm in the world, because our pigeon gun is a Saiga-12. Well, it's mine, but still. The hill is my range, and I can use the milkhouse and shop for flushing corrosive and working on 'surps respectively.

Great post.Wish you had been in Dallas on 11/22/1963 covering the School Book Depository.
We'd be in much better shape today.:)
 
CCW available where I live, nothing mentioned in the job contract, no restriction signs posted (could be), so it's don't ask, don't tell, and concealed means concealed. If I were to go down that route, I'd talk about it with my boss first just in case and CMA - but he's an old friend of mine.

I wear tournament T-shirts or shooting club polos at times and get to educate curious colleagues in the cafeteria... it's a very international workplace so people from all kinds of cultures are daily partners in work. They seem to take it in pretty well as part of the host country's culture.

The offices are well physically secured (high tech co.) but the security personnel unfortunately are a joke.
 
Surprisingly, I work in a telephone company main office and carry every day. Some folks know and some don't but there is no policy forbidding CCW at work. It wouldn't matter much if there were, I'm an independent contractor (consultant) and they really have no control over me anyway.
 
Hmm. Let's see.

Gun on my hip. Gun in safe under desk with extra ammo. And an ammo can for some ammo I've got for sale in a Want Ad in the club newspaper.

Nah, Not too friendly. Sold guns here too. Shhh. Don't tell anyone.

Oh yeah, the UPS man has needed a handcart more than once for ammo deliveries.

I would be fired if i carried at work and was found out. I would also be fired if they found out about any guns in my car, which they wouldn't, because I would never allow them to search it.
Many of my co-workers are gun owners however.
 
You get looked at kind of strange for not having a gun on you. To be fair, it's a gun store, so it is a bit of a given.
 
well since im self employed... its VERY gun friendly - ive got all my guns within arms reach of me all day long, and its no problem if i feel like taking a few hours off to go to the range during the day when nobody else is there :neener:
 
I would say so, my boss keeps a Beratta 96 in his desk, his brother usually has his Glock22 in his truck, and their dad sometimes has an old Stephens dbl bbl in his truck. And sometimes the occassional shotgun or rifle in the truck during hunting season. They all live on farms, hunt and shoot regularly.
I even went hunting with them a few times after work this year since I didnt join the hunt club.
I dont carry very often at work, the XD9 gets kinda heavy with some of the lifting and toting I have to do. But when I do carry at work its dont ask, dont tell.

My work place was very friendly. I was self employed. Insured by Smith & Wesson
 
Zero Tolerance; Instate Termination.

Fortunately I'm a highly qualified software developer with madskillz in C++/OO and systems programming... so I'm not to worried :evil:

EDIT: Mind you, I don't carry AT work, but sure hope that guns-in-cars bill passes in FL :evil:
 
so your employer has a right to search you car for guns?


when i park at school (no guns in my truck, but lots of tools, wrenches and a pocket knife) i work on a farm, and at a machine shop, if they want to take away my knife, we can fight over it, and i will win. no person is going to deprive me of mankinds oldest tool. (besides if the blade isnt over 3'' its legal anyways...)

i lock the door, roll up windows, the school needs my permission to search unless they have evidence of drugs, (like a bag of pot on the dash, or the drug-dog starts barking) if they search without my permission, they will have to pick the lock, and thats going to court.

if they ask me if they can search, i say no. if they throw a bunch of bullsh** saying its their property and they have a right to search, i give them my phone and tell them to talk to dad and our lawer. nuff said
 
I Work in a corporate store. There is a no firearm Policy.

Fortunately, my boss and I are the two people in charge, and we are both very pro 2nd. I got him into shooting. Now he owns a 1911, yugo ak, and m44. Haha.

I carry at work, he is taking his CCW this summer. We're the only 2 that know.

No,icebones.But half of the fifty states are "at will" states,where you are hired at will,can quit at will, and be fired at will.So,if your boss(es) asks you to open your vehicle to see if you have any evil weapons "hidden" inside, and you refuse,they can't make you open the doors.
But expect the pink slip from "Human Resources"(before PC, Personnel)the next morning.
