I think I missed a good post somewhere. Enquiring minds want to know. This reads like there is a gun store posted in your part of town? If so... WOW!!!

I REALLY want the parking lot bill to pass!

With my skill set, I really don't have a choice.

I am hoping it passes also. Not just for my skill set, but for the safety of all Texas workers.

I own stock in several companies. I have never been given an opportunity to vote on company HR policies. If I don't like the company's policies, I can vote for a different BoD that can replace the CEO, but that's after the fact. The CEO is the CEO and exercises the authority of that office until replaced.

But as a stockholder you can theoretically vote out a CEO who doesn't support your RTKBA and replace him with someone who does. I don't want to belabor the point, but for most companies and CEOs the policies concerning firearms on company property are very low on their list of priorities. They are more concerned about increasing sales and revenue. Based on their own indivdual beliefs, very few CEOs are going to stick their necks out to support a policy allowing employees to carry at work. As an aside, I wonder what kind of firearms policies that Remington, Winchester, Ruger, Sig, Colt, Kahr, Kimber, Federal, CCI, Speer, etc have at their factories.

The CEO is responsible. Whether the company is private or public, the buck stops there.

The CEO of a corporation is responsible to the stockholders [at least that is the theory] and the board of directors. He or she can not make or change policy without their approval.

One thing that I would like to point out about businesses posting 30.06 signs, gun buster signs or having "anti-gun" policies is that most of the companies that people work for and do business with are corporations. They are not independent businesses owned by individuals , so there is no one person who has the sole responsibility or discretion to establish company policies towards firearms. So, trying to blame the manager or employee for the policy is ludicrous.

Some people, may say that this is the mentality of "just following orders". We may not like it, but that is the reality of corporate business.

I assumed it was a joke. Nobody here lives in Iraq.

JP171 does.

My question is will you "boycott" your place of employment for having a valid or invalid 30.06 sign or a company policy that does not allow guns on the property?

Excellent question Wild One.....

When I was looking for employment last year, I interviewed with several companies. Interviews go both ways. I asked point blank what the policy was. I am happy to say that we (the company and I) see things the same way. I very much enjoy my new job.

Thank you Grizzly One.
I have never asked that question at an interview. You are a much braver man than I.

There have been many threads and posts about valid and invalid 30.06 signs and "gunbuster" signs at stores and businesses. Some members have stated that they will not do business with a company because of the "intent" of the signs. Some have suggested sending letters to the business owners or even a boycott of the business. I believe that CHL holders have the prerogative to do so - based on "principle" or "constitutional rights" or whatever their specific reason, they can do business wherever their beliefs or conscience allows.

My question is will you "boycott" your place of employment for having a valid or invalid 30.06 sign or a company policy that does not allow guns on the property?
