I would have asked during the interview.
If I need to carry to do their job, they aren't paying enough.
I'm retired, live in a "good area", carry everywhere legal, avoid where I can't and "need" is not how I see it. If I thought I'd "need" a gun, I wouldn't go there, amiright.
Yeah, well aren't we lucky to have yours for comparison.Thats just an asinine comment, really man.
As to the topic my work prohibits firearms in the handbook, but thats literally what it is says. So a handful of gun guys/CC's got together and asked about keeping guns in our vehicles. That was fine, just don't have them on you "at work".
I still know one guy who pocket carries anyway.
MedWheeler has the best answer. Employee handbooks are not carved in stone and brought off the mountain by Moses. Just because it isn't mentioned in the handbook doesn't extend the permission to do something not covered. Have you ever heard of an employee handbook telling you can't grab the boss's wife by the butt cheeks?

OK, I'll be the guy to point out that grabbing a woman by the butt cheeks without her consent is actually illegal.Have you ever heard of an employee handbook telling you can't grab the boss's wife by the butt cheeks?
Great advice right there , there is always more than one way to ask a question . Sometimes it's the direct path that is best , with this subject nowadays I think indirect is the way to go . Good luck with the new job .Just ask your employer what policies are in place to insure workplace safety and security. If there's a "weapons-prohibited" policy in place, the reasoning behind it will be exactly that, workplace safety and security. Asking the question that way won't necessarily reveal which way you stand on that.
Include inquiries on locking doors, badge/ID requirements, concern-reporting procedures, hazardous materials handling, fire suppression, weapons on premises, video recording, etc, as applicable. You could even toss in a question on Covid-19 safety protocols.
I mean technically almost every corporate handbook in existence is going to ban sexual harassment and probably have additional anti harassment training, I think grabbing someone’s butt is going to fall under sexual harassment even if it’s not explicitly stated. Kind of like a no weapons policy covering guns, knives, swords, clubs, brass knuckles etc.
On a more appropriate note I switched from a Benchmade 531 Pardue to a blue Bugout at work because the Bugout doesn’t give off as many “weapon” vibes if someone sees it.
If the boss's wife isn't an employee the employees manuals prohibitions on sexual harassment may not apply. You never know, she might enjoy new guy grabbing her butt cheeks.
Don't carry fists to a gun fight.I'm retired, live in a "good area", carry everywhere legal, avoid where I can't and "need" is not how I see it.

In a couple of weeks, I'll probably be going over to Georgetown summit deer hunting. I kinda hope I need a gun there.If I thought I'd "need" a gun, I wouldn't go there, amiright.
