Just like the title says. Does are you allowed to CCW at work or is there rules against it? If you can't do you still? If so, what do you carry?

I'm in the same boat. I'm not going to say I haven't thought about a NAA mini mag in my pocket though.

The company handbook didn't specifically prohibit it. But it DID say that examples of an offense of termination could include "carrying a gun on jobsites" or something like that. It gave other examples, and every other example had a separate part in the handbook that specifically prohibited it. So I don't KNOW if it's allowed or not.

I almost always have one in the car. Sometimes I carry it with me.

Yes, only if you have a license. The president of the company actually carries a 1911 and my manager carries a 380.

Per handbook... No.

Do I? Yes... Hell the guy in the office next to me has one his his desk drawer.

I work at a university in the midwest. We can't even have one in our vehicle while on university property. Fireable offense.

Posted: 3/3/2015 10:52:33 AM EDT

[#15]

Nope...

Thought about it, as we have temp-to-hires through a staffing company. Get all sorts of characters coming through, some seem kinda crazy and sometimes I think they'll be back to shoot the place up after they've been fired and escorted off company property!

It's customary to bring in any new gun you've bought to show your co-workers, so yes.

Same, I may reconsider when I'm off contract employment and considered a regular hire as that makes firing for offenses much harder. But even then, at least once a week I have meeting in the control center and that envolves security and a medal detector.

I live in Wisconsin, but work in Minnesota. Even though my work policy/procedure manual makes carrying any weapon an automatic terminable offense, I couldn't carrying in Minnesota anyways since they don't offer reciprocity for my Wisconsin CCW permit. Woohoo for State's rights, amirite?

Don't feel like going to jail as my workplace is a prohibited location under FL law

In the handbook it says no weapons on hospital property. The Admin and several docs regularly bring guns in to show off and such. I sometimes bring my carry gun in.

Prohibited at work.

Someone got fired for showing a coworker one that was in her car.

In CA you can carry on school grounds if you have a valid CCW, but they are trying to take away that right.

Prohibited at work. I have pepperspray, kutaton and improvised weapon at the ready. Mostly I resort to my razor sharp sarcasm.

ETA They had me sign an agreement that if violence ever did erupt I would not fight back. "Yeah, sure, lemme just sign that. I promise."

I'm a small business owner and I encourage my employees to carry. Only a few do though that I know of... but I don't go around asking.

Our only office rule (required by my partners) is that "concealed means concealed". In their words "we're a professional firm, not banjo's shotgun hootenanny"... and I agree with them. Strap up to your hearts content, just don't snowboot the office.

Only against policy where I work, not law, so I carry when I feel it's needed. Otherwise it stays in my car.

The employee handbook conspicuously makes no mention of bringing weapons to the office.

No because it is against the law/rules....etc

but I can walk a few feet

and pick up anything from a sub-compact 9mm to an M134D

so sometimes the laws/rules are pretty stupid

I worked at a convenience store during college for a year or so on the night shift. I wasn't supposed to carry but I did. I wasn't too worried about the manager firing me though. Her steady weed slinging out of the store gave me a bit of leverage. Ha!

in all honesty, It's not been brought up.
I don't plan on bringing it up.
It's not in the employee manual, but I'd be pretty sure some people would pitch a bitch fit.
So I don't ask. I don't tell.

Easier to ask for forgiveness than deal with getting the permission.

After an irate former employee came in and said some... well, not really scary, and not really threatening, but could sort of be construed that way..... things, the boss encouraged me to. Previous to that, the handbook was silent on the matter, and I didn't want to bring it up, so it stayed in the truck. Now the 1911 comes with me every day.
