I work at a software company in the Dallas area. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to leave my gun in the car all day since the building is not posted - not even a ghost buster sign.
I took my CHL last Sunday at DFW Gun Club (not my favorite range, but it was a good class) and the instructor was talking about the special employee - employer relationship and mentioned the employee handbook.
I dug mine out and found the following:
PROHIBITED CONDUCT
In order to maintain a productive work environment, <company name> expects employee to maintain a standard of conduct that will protect the interests and safety of all employees as well as uphold the reputation of the company.
In order to provide employees with guidance concerning prohibited conduct, the following are examples of types of serious misconduct that may result in discipline, up to and including termination of employment.
While it is impossible to list guidelines to cover situation, the absence of an illustration from this list will not be the basis for avoiding disciplinary action when the Company believes such action is warranted. The activities prohibited by <company name> include, but are not limited to, the following:
...
•Unauthorized possession or use of firearms or any other weapon on Company property.
The handbook doesn't define what is required to Authorize use or possession or who does the authorization.
What so you guys think? Would you carry in this situation?
(for the record - I like my job - at least right now)
