How often are you searched at work?
Never, and I wouldn't allow it either....

Who is 'We' and how many 'We's' do you have to chip in money?
We = I and any other patriotic 2nd A supporting Americans reading this forum.
I just wondered whose money and picketing time you were so openly volunteering. :headscratch

I personally disagree with people breaking rules like this. You agree to follow the rules when you sign on, and if you break them, then that is your doing and you should be reprimanded appropriately for that. No different than being on this forum; you follow the rules or you don't play. If you break them you are reprimanded. An employer should have the right to prohibit whatever they don't like in their buildings. Now, I DO agree that they should not be able to prohibit you from having it in YOUR vehicle on the parking lot, but past that they have rights too. If you disagree with them, then go through the appropriate steps to get the employer to change them. Until that time, you follow them or find a job where you agree with the rules.
But tell me this: How is it different than going in a store/restaurant/business etc. that is posted "no Guns" or "No Weapons Allowed" etc, but are NOT properly 30-06 posted? Same situation there, they don't want people coming in with weapons. Also, by seeing that sign and still entering, you are pretty much agreeing to their terms, in a round about way.

The reason you proceed and come in with your weapon is because you are trained and legally able to carry this weapon on a regular basis, and are not going in with a vengeance or something like that, which is what the sign, or in this case employee contract, is really there for.

So do you also think it is wrong to carry in a building that says no guns?

Carrying at Work

Hey all,

So I know that it not illegal to carry at work, unless posted, even if their employee hand book says no weapons. To my knowledge, the worse they can do if fire you.

I am strongly considering carrying in my work place, and just am wondering how common this is, or if most people try to steer away from this.

The way people are treated, and the rate people are fired, mixed with the type of the people that work there (in my opinion) is a dangerous combination. I have also read the online job reviews, which make me even more nervous. A few examples include people talking about knife fights in the parking garage, and one person even says, "..I am surprised no one has just gone in there and gone postal on everyone..."

Other than getting a new job, which I am working on, any thoughts?
