I agree from a standpoint of it being a personal choice to carry or not carry to and from work...How you conduct yourself while "on the clock" is a personal matter...
Per a company "policy" of course...
My opinion is well documented as far as how I feel and have conducted myself per a "company policy"...
Company policies are not law, but the risks are of course the drastic matter of termination of employment if caught...
I will not tell someone what to do in this regard...I'm only relating what my experience has been in response to these "policies"...
Now of course if the building is properly posted in Texas with that dreaded 30.06 sign, then yes, you better follow the law on that one...
If I have a way to secure my weapon in the vehicle, within a lockbox in that vehicle, then most likely it'll stay there...In the parking facility or lot...I consider that to be acceptable...
Bottom line is that I am not going to advertise my views or hint to what I do in regards to firearms to anyone I work with...It keeps the rumors and your capability discrete to anyone who may want to conduct a company "fishing expedition/search"...
This is just how I feel about this issue...I'm just lucky now to work with a friend who I respect as a good business partner, and have the same views on issues...Whom I have know for years before working with him...He knows how I feel about this, and its not that big a deal to him either...
If I went somewhere else, then I am prepared to evaluate the situation, adjust my carry procedures, and make it work...
Just some things to ponder I suppose...
