As the owner of the business, you are under no legal obligation to conceal, as the business property is either owned by you or under your control. On the other hand, what if the woman (or someone else in your company) freaked out about the boss being armed. I'm glad your employees didn't react that way, but that isn't exactly guaranteed these days.sailor2000 wrote:Kinda wandering off topic.... Slap me if it is too far....
My wife and I own a business... we have about 30 direct employees and about as many contractors and sub-contractors in and out of the office... our weapons policy also states "except as authorized by law"...
I was working in our storage area some weeks ago, was behind a combination locked door, re-arranging storage lockers, shelving and the inventory and had my dress shirt off... exposing my 45 and mag carriers... one of our female employees unexpectedly walked in on me and was quick to excuse herself... (we have a health care company and I am usually the only male in the office with 20+ women)... that night my wife commented that my being armed had quickly gotten around the building rumor mill... and that several employees had come to her and commented about how glad they were to know they were well protected....

Re: Concealed carry at work
I'm no lawyer, but I would think that would only make it easier for them to fire him. I don't see how this impacts whether or not he can be prosecuted. He signed that he received written notice of a "No firearms policy," not that he received verbal notice of that policy. And the written notice that he acknowledged that he received is not 30.06 compliant.bdickens wrote:Yes, absolutely. Now the company has doccumented that you understand and agree to the policy. You can no longer claim that you didn't know.
Hopefully, state law will preclude those sorts of policies soon.
