Howdy......
I know it'a a touchy subject for some.....In my workplace they love it. The owners and most of the managers of the differant departments are shooters. About 35% of the employees are shooters and a whole bunch of the non shooters want me to take them shootin sometime

In my workplace guns are good.....how about your's?

Good shootin......

I'm working in an elementary school part-time. I think they would frown on my bringing guns to work.

We have a don't ask don't tell policy. When you are called out in the middle of the night for an emergency service call it is kind of taken for granted that the technition will probably be packing. One time at 3:00 am I had to go to a questionable area, my supervisor told me if I did not have anything with me to go back home and get something.

I work for a community college as an instructor. They have a policy of no weapons on their property. Plus, sometime I teach my classes at a local high school and state law prohibits firearms on any school property.

I work for the federal government, and as you probably know, they don['t believe in self defence.

They believe that sort of thing should usually be contracted out like the Kennedy's and Clintons do ...

Only if I want the day off. Take a gun to work, get sent home..maybe for good.

Not hardly. If I do and I am discovered, I am history there. I live on the East coast. I expect this.

Well, in your vehicle it would not be a problem, but bring it into any building, be discovered, and you are history! with an escort from Security.

I dressed in my cowboy duds for Halloween including holsters and guns but unloaded. No one said anything about it. WI is an open carry state but not concealed. My company does not have an official policy but I don't want to press the issue.

Definitively NO.

Luckily I have the best situation, we are a traveling CAS store, and I get to carry at work.

Howdy......
Well....so far (if my count is right) about 7 out of 13 can' t brings to work. I work for an International/Navistar truck dealership. We get customers packin a lot. Brinks, Dunbar Armored, Loomis Fargo and a few other Armored Car services buy our trucks and sometimes the drivers bring them in for service or to pick up parts and are always armed. The U.S. Border Patrol brings their trucks in and most of the agents are armed. I have worked at places that had a lot of shooters and we were not allowed to bring any weapons at all.

Good shootin......

Yessir, I work from home!

The bank takes a dim view of employee packing. Since I am getting to old to look for honest work, I have to abide by their rules.

JimWild · « **Reply #17 on:** March 12, 2004, 04:03:41 AM »

Naw, they get real upset 'bout it. Last place I woked...yup no problem, used to practice with my compound bow on shift too.... with the plant manager!!

Well before I retired I worked for the University of Wisconsin. One of the more liberal institutions of higher learning.

When Donna Shalala (spl?) of the late Clinton administration was our Chancellor some of us in the power plant (including the Superintendent) bought a whole case of SKSs real cheap. We disassembled them in the tool room and cleaned all the grease off in the parts washer. She would have had a fit if she'd have known
