Sounds like the "old policy" was good ... then someone probably "asked HR" and out came a whole new attitude with new rules :grumble
That's why we all say "concealed is concealed" in other words if it's legal, It's no one's business what's in my pants.
As far as where you choose to work and their "policies" and your decision to follow or not follow "procedures" on any matter ... that's your business.

Just like at Virginia Tech, the year prior to the massacre
http://www.roanoke.com/editorials/commentary/wb/80510" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Please realize that I am licensed to carry a concealed handgun in the commonwealth of Virginia, and do so on a regular basis. However, because I am a Virginia Tech student, I am prohibited from carrying at school because of Virginia Tech's student policy, which makes possession of a handgun an expellable offense, but not a prosecutable crime.
At the time this article was written, the year before 32 defenseless unprotected people were killed there, it wasn't illegal to be armed, they chose to be unarmed and follow a policy which had consequences of being expelled or fired.

Knowing what I know now, I am glad I asked you all before going to HR! That would have been a major rookie mistake. I almost dont want to admit it, but I more than likely will not carry at work becuase of the chance of being fired.

I do appreciate everyones help, and am now a huge fan of this forum!

Reading that says you can't carry in your office per company policy. However, the new parking lot law superceeds the no parking lots clause and you can keep your gun in your car as long as you don't work for a school or refinery.

Concealed means concealed. Don't talk guns at work, don't have gun stickers on your vehicle,
and you should be able to fly under the radar at work, IMHO.

YMMV.

There it is! ...'nuff said.

Move along there's nothing to see here...
Next?

:iagree:

BTW, you might also consider amending your attachment a bit - there is a name of some legal counsel type clearly visible (wouldn't want you to be "outed" in this manner) .... realize it's a small risk, but you never know - concealed is concealed, better safe than sorry, all that

Never educate an anti about signs . If they find out then they will
come up with a sign that really does carry an enforcable restriction.
