I carried concealed when I interviewed and they made me an offer, so I assume they don't mind me carrying at work.

Same here.

I could actually OC while at the office but in the field I have to CC so that's the way I stay. I open carry on the weekends some and when I'm out on the land.

This for me as well!

And me too!!!

Unfortunately for me, no carrying at work (or between work and home). All weapons are banned both in the building and in the parking lots due to multiple levels of bureaucracy. Gotta love it.

At least I'm allowed to carry my pocket knife.

Just out of curiosity, do you drive a company owned vehicle to work? If you drive your own vehicle they can't keep you from having a gun locked up inside the vehicle, even on their parking lot.

Sec. 52.061. RESTRICTION ON PROHIBITING EMPLOYEE ACCESS TO OR STORAGE OF FIREARM OR AMMUNITION. A public or private employer may not prohibit an employee who holds a license to carry a handgun under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, who otherwise lawfully possesses a firearm, or who lawfully possesses ammunition from transporting or storing a firearm or ammunition the employee is authorized by law to possess in a locked, privately owned motor vehicle in a parking lot, parking garage, or other parking area the employer provides for employees.

Of course, maybe you work on federal property. That would be different.

Wish I could, I work at a Government site. Hopefully the armed security and SWAT team have been hitting the range!

I carry everywhere I legally can. I am self employed.

Do the cards reference open carry explicitly or do they imply that all carry is not allowed? I am thinking of the concern I have seen here that it you OC you might get effective notice that would bar you from carrying at all.

It's a federal government issue.

My concern is not at work, it's driving back and forth.

They reference open carry only, and the intent from management is to prevent open carry only (customers or employees).

I'm sorry. That's really bad that federal regulations have the effect of keeping you disarmed while going back and forth to work.
