My first job is at a corporate sandwich shop- we're not allowed to carry. It's not allowed in my car, either. My life is worth more than a part time job.
My second job is at a privately owned bar. I keep it in my duffel bag along with spare clothes, smokes, etc. It's always within 15 feet of me. I leave here about the same time as a bunch of rowdy drunks, I feel much safer with it.

Having a formal policy allowing it opens a company to potential liability. Having a formal policy prohibiting it means they're not on the hook if an employee misuses a weapon the company let him carry on their property.
Most reasonable solution in the real world, to my thinking, is a written policy in the company's procedures, no active enforcement except in troubling cases, and no written notices posted prohibiting it. Then employees who keep their CCW to themselves can carry, and if someone keeps a loaded pistol in their desk while repetitively typing "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" all day long then that person can be removed from the work environment.

I can not carry a gun on to the property where I work. It is the law. So, I park on the street right beside the parking lot. It is amazing what you can do if you don't mind walking an extra fifteen feet.
It is actually closer than the spot I had when I parked in the lot. Plus there are a number of other cars, street lights, and foot traffic. I feel reasonably safe with it secured inside the car. Plus, I have it if I want to go any where before or after work.

Jefferson County, Wv PSD
Hi, I worked Jefferson County, Wv PSD for a year or so and they don't allow CCW on the job, but they have no problem sending You to crack trailer, alone, to collect late payments ( drug dealers don't have checking accounts go figure ? duh ) . Pitbulls and thugs answered the doors in run down trailerparks month after month , I tell My supervisor and the Stupid bitch gives Me pepperspray. Then while collecting for deliquent accounts in Charlestown, Wv ( City water, county sewers ) I told the City worker My problem and He ( Nice Older Black Gentleman ) pulls a little .38 from His front pocket and says He wouldn't go collect without it. So I take His advice , but one day I was printed By a worker, got a call from the office to come in , where after discussing the situation I was fired. Owell I knew the chance I took, but also wasn't going to risk My life over some paycheck from some Paperpushing ( single go figure LOL LOL ) Office Manager. The rest of the employees were walking out the door with equipment, padding hours on there time sheets, using County trucks to drop kids off at school or go shopping, 3 hour lunches and they go after what She said a month before Her best worker and gave Me $1 per hour raise and hoped My enthusiasm was contagious ( what a leader LOL LOL ) !!! What I learned about Goverment during that job made Me never want to work for any goverment agency again. ........WVleo

Every place I worked in the past (big corps) had no firearm or weapon policies.
But they didn't have any metal detectors or mind reading devices present...
So I carried anyway. =D
No law against it in FL.
Just my job on the line if they found out.

It's been proven that sandwich makers who carry while on the job either shoot themselves in the foot or wound customers more so than any other profession. That's why "NO GUN FOR YOU!"

Personally, I believe in a little thing called the right to free association, which means that two free men ought to be able to agree to any terms that they both find agreeable, without the government or anyone else butting in and telling them what they can and can't agree to.
So if Joe and Bob agree that Joe will perform certain labor for Bob and not carry a gun while he is doing so, in exchange for Bob paying Joe 500 intergalactic units per lunar cycle, then that is just fine as long as both sides voluntarily enter the relationship. It is what I like to call "liberty." No one has a right to prevent them from entering such a relationship, since them doing so does not interfere with anyone else's equal liberty.
I say we need more liberty, not less. And we need less laws, regulations, and government; not more.
Laws like this are not "pro-gun," they are "anti-liberty."
