The CEO does not carry very often and the COO, although he carries everyday, he leaves his firearm in his vehicle. We thought about asking for written permission but we are not sure they will go for that. The CEO answers to the board of directors so I don't think they want to break policy or make exception to policy. It probably is a futile effort but we thought there might be a slim chance considering the recent events.
I admire your initiative and hope you can make a change. Corporations, by their nature, are faceless organizations so change is very difficult and time consuming. Let us know what happens.
P.S. If you do talk to management about this, make sure you don't refer to the HR person as "the HR girl." ;-)

Sorry to burst your bubble, but unless these people actually own the company you are wasting your breath. Nothing, short of a directive from the owner(s), will "convince" Legal or HR of anything. The CEO, COO and compliance officer don't have to worry. Since they have their CHLs, they can pretty much give themselves permission to carry.
