Well, you have rules and you have laws. I'm careful about laws. I break rules with great enthusiasm. Basically, if I can't be arrested for it, I do it without hesitation, I don't even think about it either.
Having an employer search a vehicle is to me, totally out of the question. I won't even let a cop search without a warrant, and I never ever give permission to search. Letting someone, anyone, search your property can't benefit you in any way. Disallowing it at least gives you a leg to stand on.
That said, my wife had her permit back in the day. She carried to work one time and someone spotted the piece in her bag, she got threatened with firing, and she stopped. But she works property management, by herself, and after dark during our long dark winters. They weren't concerned with her safety at all, just with their policy.
So she got her permit back (she let it expire) and now carries anyway, keeps a G17 in a hidden pocket in her bag. No way it would be spotted now, not unless they dug through her bag in which case they've got another problem.
Pee tests, background checks, now this. When corporations and governments mix, that is called facism. To me, some jobs just aren't worth it. If more people felt that way, they'd either change their policy or go out of business. Where do you draw the line and stand up and say, "This is enough?"
