At the craphole l used to work at there were signs that said;
NO:
Guns
Knives
Weapons
Illegal Drugs
Allowed on the property.
I was always like, "Doesn't the third thing kinda cover the first two things?" And aren't illegal drugs pretty much a no-go everywhere else, too?"
This is the unthinking heart of the regulatory state.
I had a CWP/CHL in WA state back in the early 90s. I was working for a biotech co. in Redmond - head of s/w QA. I had a little pocket pistol that I had in my briefcase, even back then there were workplace shootings (several in the post office), so I felt I needed to carry to work. The workplace had no written or verbal policy against guns.
I had one snowflake who worked for me who inadvertently saw the pistol one day and apparently reported it. No one ever said a thing to me, but a week or two later a new employee handbook came out and we were required to read it. It said "no illegal weapons on the premises". Well, my pistol was perfectly legal - but I took the hint and stopped carrying it inside the building. It just amazed me that they were that clueless about what was legal and what wasn't - or maybe they weren't and just did that to please the snowflake?
