Work carry pow wow

[ilikegunspdx]

Tell them that's how you discreetly carry your catheter supplies. That's what one old boy told me when I asked him if anyone ever asked what he had in that Sneaky Pete holster on his belt, since a lot of folks like us know what a Sneaky Pete holster looks like and what it contains.

Ha ha Nice! My leatherman has a built in caribeener and hangs on my belt loop so no need to explain fortunately.

We settled on the "don't ask, dont tell" office carry option

Good thing a rep from the legal dept. wasn't there.

I carried for many years at my job, even though it was against their policy and a firing offense to even have a firearm in the vehicle on company property.

This was the situation where I worked for many years. There were a number of gun fanciers in our employee compliment. Some of us used to swap guns in the parking lot during lunch break. That all came to a crashing halt with the Edmond, Oklahoma PO shooting. After that, having a firearm on property anywhere was cause for dismissal.

Pass. 9mm is the way.

Ah yes, contempt prior to investigation.

Ok…. Heaven forbid I disagree and choose to stick with 9mm. lol.

Personal preference.

All you really need is a good flashlight.

.....and a few strategically placed traffic barrels to calm things down!

Never ask, never tell...

Like @1775usmc I've always carried at work, I just considered the "policy" (I cant recall many actually having such) was for the hourly employees.
That said, when offered a position, and was past the HR hiring personnel, I always informed the owners I was carrying, and would continue to do so. The only time there was a concern was on my last "retirement" job of 11 years, I was informed part of my work would require entering the Portland Federal building with strict weapon policy and search upon entering. The owner said If I accepted the position, he would leave that problem up to me on how to handle that.

It's all good in the neighborhood.

All day every day. Don't mind the porta-sh!ter. Haha.

May have to slim down in the summer but right now carrying a G19 daily is a cake walk.

I worked a job once and a couple weeks in at a company function I was talking to the owner and we got on about guns... he was down... after our chat he informed me that if I wanted to carry on the job he was in favor of it. I already did, but now I had my 380 in my pocket and a 1911 locked in my desk.

He carried, there was a fingerprint safe in the office and two other employees carried. Now I know what the Handbook meant by no "unauthorized firearms"

Loved everything about that job

 

[orygun]

G19. I like your style!

PERFECTION

Pfffft!

I've carried at work one way or another since 1990 or so, but since I went back to working on cars, I don't have it on my person. I also work for myself so I am immune from any "rules" in that regard.

I remember buying and selling guns with several of my bosses and co workers. Guns in the shop were not unusual. Isn't that the way it's supposed to be?

My boss carries. I carry. And like 3-4 of the dudes I work with carry.

Rules are more like guidelines. lol.

Most workplaces have policies that strictly prohibit the carrying of firearms while on the clock. Check your policies and procedures handbook.

I always carried at work in a hospital. Our security was a joke. We had two physicians get mugged in the parking lot in the middle of the night.

I always had a pen gun in my lab coat chest pocket. It looked just like any regular Dr's light. I always carried two Dr light looking devices, one of which actually was a light, so I had one to loan just in case.

No thanks

 

[Playnhard4x4]

Good policy. Carry deep. Nobody's business but your own.

My …ahem.. "gerber multi-tool" never leaves my belt even when I can't carry anything else.

Never even thought of that. THANK YOU for the great idea

 

[Alexx1401]

Most of my jobs have had some "policy" about none. I ignored it and always well. Unless I have to walk through a metal detector coming in? I will carry as I always have. Most likely never need it. If I ever do and they fire me? I will be alive to go get another job. I tell other that ask, if you can manage to not drop it on the floor and or show it to others? How is anyone going to know.

In a lot of places the policy is just a CYA in case something happens.

Almost every employer that is exactly what that "policy" is for. Since they can't offer any real protection for some kook coming to work and going kook, they use that policy to say it was not their fault. What else can they do? If there was not a written policy and some employee hurts others? Lawyers would of course want money.

My estranged son lost his job over drawing his illegally concealed gun on a guy at work. Guy was sketchy. Thought he was reaching.

Well he was. Reaching for a comb. Dumb sss move.
