In some states, like this one, you cannot sue an employor for any damages, you can only claim workers comp. They are thinking of changing the law to allow for lawsuits due to workers comp. pays very little and also the employors are doing things in an unsafe manner because they are immune from suits.
As for the carry at work I am lucky that it's a don't ask, don't tell atmoshere. Our handbook does state no weapons but it's just there as a cya for the company (until this law passes that is). They know that I have a CCW because my bosses signed my references form.
When we were broken into last year, one of the bosses that signed came to work with a Colt Python (beautiful pistol, stainless and I believe it was the 6in model). I saw it, no big deal. All of the other employees have a truck gun at all times, mostly .38's. I myself carry a .38 in an ankle holster and have a Glock .40 in the car.
Since this is a work at will state ( I think that's what it is called when they can terminate you for any reason or no reason at all), companies don't need an excuse to get rid of you and don't have to cite a reason so my thoughts are, why not carry anyway, what can they do to me, fire me?
But then again, I don't have a family, I own my home and the only bills that I have, sans the car payment (I own the other one), are for lux. items like modem, tv, etc.. Electric would be the only utility that would affect me as I have a well with an electric pump and also a handle in case the electric goes off.
