I interpret this as asking "will I quit my job if my employer does not allow guns on their property". I have to answer that with a big "It depends". If I can find another job at comparable pay, I'm outta there. If it is the gun-banning employer or no job/low paying (comparably) job - that's a toughy, but I have to say that I think I would go with the gun-banning employer. As others have stated, and I concur - I have a responsibility to my family. I guess part of this attitude comes from the fact that I generally travel in areas of low crime. I currently telecommute, but if I had to go in to an office on a regular basis - well, if the office were in an iffy area, or required me to traverse neighborhoods that made me less than comfortable - that would be the part of the "depends" where I would boycott the employer and find myself another job.WildBill wrote: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?
There are a lot of factors that go into a decision like this. My personal safety is about the highest priority I can have. Other than that, all sorts of factors that would be hard to include in a hypothetical would be weighed in making the decision. But banning guns is not an automatic turn-down of employer in my opinion. Makes it a 2nd-string choice, maybe, but not automatic rejection.
