Re: What do you do at work?

My employee's handbook says something like "weapons of any kind are absolutely forbidden", but then a lot of the employees openly (as in they don't keep it a secret) carry pocket knives without any repercussions, so I guess they didn't really mean what they wrote. In addition to not having much in the way of personal space or privacy, my job potentially involves climbing & crawling around in front of medium-sized crowds (~1,500 people on a good day) in a well-lit area, so I usually disarm & lock it in my car. I pretty much always wear the empty holster, though, both to make re-arming on the way home easier, and so that the lump there will be normal to my coworkers in case I ever start carrying regularly. One of these days I'll get something smaller (I currently carry a P226) and re-evaluate.

I'm actually not entirely certain that I'd get in trouble... I know the GM is pro-gun (and he once said that if anyone should be armed there it'd be me because where I normally sit is one of the few places where someone can actually see what's going on), but I don't think he has the authority to override company policy, and don't want to seek clarification from the HR people because I suspect they wouldn't hold the correct views & then I'd have oral notice and be breaking the law whenever I get preoccupied with something and forget to disarm before I start work.
