Workplace Safety Mag

[mp40]

Had a visit from our Safety product lady today, whike she was inv. our F-Aid kits on our vehicles, she gave me a copy of her co's monthly safety mag. Main section for this month was "workplace violence" Under the heading of Ten thing's to watch for was the statement of:Any employee who shows an unusual interest in fireams, firearm collections or any weapon; One who is vocal and discusses firearms constantly as in hobbies; any employee who brings assorted gun mags to his workplace; firearm parap. in the employees work area. I guess this means that everyone in my shop is going to go postal sooner or later. Makes me sick

Well jezz guess the company is watching 3/4's of us to go postal what a joke .

In companies' minds, all guns, each and every one, cause crime...

....just like all cars, each and every one, cause accidents. :banghead:

So I guess the guy who drinks 10 cups of coffee a day, works 65 hours a week, is on his third divorce, lives on vending machine food, get's hysterical over every minor emergency and has blood pressure through the roof is no worry at all huh? Yea, he's safe because he not an NRA member and doesn't have a gun collection.

Safety vendors are like all vendors: ride the fear du jour in an attempt to make a buck.

I have news for you: the "professionals" that write these "informative" articles have probably never even seen, touched, or fired a gun. Nor do they have an understanding of the US Constitution, let alone the 2A, or matters of self-defense. By and large, safety "professionals" tend to tow the "no one needs a gun" theory of life.

In short, they see safety as total and complete prevention, or to put it another way, the total absence of liberty.

I used to work for a marginal magazine publisher quite a few years ago. Most of the "professionals" are kids fresh out of college who couldn't get real jobs as journalists, so they're putting in some time on low end jobs in the hope of working their way up. Most of my purported "writers" couldn't spell, punctuate, write sentences, or inform. Most of my purported "graphic designers" didn't know RGB from CMYK from dot gain from resolution from type. Most of my self-styled "editors" were people of small talent and less ambition who got promoted just by hanging around long enough.

I stuck it out a few months until I could find a better paid advertising job that included co-workers I could actually respect. If you publish enough second tier trade magazines and brutally hold down costs, you can make a small profit—but there's rarely much quality to be found.

I wonder what that makes me then??
I take coworkers to the shooting range and hunting.
I've helped previous non-shooters through the process of choosing a gun and purchasing them.
Most of my coworkers think I have more guns than God.
Frequently seen reading American Rifleman at lunch time.
Introduced the words JBTs to the lexicon of several of my coworkers.
People at work always seem to ask me about rifle ballistics and loads.

 

[Third_Rail]

You think that's bad? I bring in Guns & Ammo, Shooting Times, and American Rifleman to Sears for breaktime reading material! I don't mean bring in and out, I mean I leave magazines there.

Management has been nice to me lately....

There are volumes to be written about garbage like this . . . rather than write a long posting, I'll just say that this stuff comes from the same bureaucrats and management types who, if they could, would institute daily floggings until morale improved.
