I have a friend and shooting partner who works for a very large chain store that has locations all over most major cities and operates from very early to very late, midnight. The building and parking lot is not posted 30:06 but the company has a stated policy in the employee handbook of no weapons even in employee’s cars when they are parked on the lot. This particular location has been the site of at least 3 armed robberies over the past 3 years.

I made a suggestion to my friend to have several of the employees that have CHL to approach management to ask for either secure storage of CHL weapons on the property or for the company to provide armed escort to employee vehicles after dark thirty. The result is that the company is at least giving serious consideration to both ideas at this time. I do not know what will happen but it will be clear in the event that one of the employee’s is harmed by anyone in the parking lot that the company was given prior notice of the problem and the concerns of their workers. If they choose to do nothing, they may be leaving themselves wide open to a large civil suit. That is probably why they are giving serious consideration to the proposals.

A similar proposal to your employer might allow you to at least carry on your trip to and from work. On the other hand, it might also limit your upward movement at this company. After you disclose the fact that you have a CHL, the company might decide that you are not the type of individual that they want to employ.
