I am in total agreement with that.AG-EE wrote:I would strongly suggest a don't ask, don't tell approach. If they don't currently have a policy regarding carrying, they will about 2 days after you ask about it.
And as far as your coworker goes, I think I would explain to her about your concern with leaving the gun in the car, since there has been a history of break-ins. We wouldn't want to arm any more criminals, would we?
I would also explain to her that your gun is only for your personal protection while making the dangerous journey to and from your car. And then I would add that she will understand it all better after she takes HER CHL class, and that you can have a more intelligent coversation with her after that happens.
I understand that you don't want to change your working dynamics, but it appears that you already have. Best you can do now is damage control. Good luck with the situation.
