Banned office carry

[forty5]

I live in eastern TN, my employer in the past has considered it an asset for his employees to carry. Now with a new consultant he has decided to ban all guns on property even if you have a valid carry permit except for a few whom he selects to carry a firearm. I've done my best to make the case that more guns in the hands of law abiding citizens is an extremely safe environment and an asset to the business. However to no avail he still considers those with carry permits to be a liability. I understand it's his property and his right to decide whether or not firearms should be allowed on his property because the insurance provider considers gun owners a liability. My main concern is that if we do not elect a president who will dismantle and abolish Obamacare the government will use Obamacare to attempt to ban firearm ownership because the government deems gun ownership a health risk/liability.

Yup. What else do you want me to say?

Carry concealed in a manner where you won't get outed. If you ever do have t use it your last concern will be getting fired.

What type of work do you do where you feel the need to carry concealed in the office? If you work out of the office or travel then I understand where you're coming from. Maybe the boss is planning on downsizing in the near future and he doesn't want 20 disgruntled employees in his office with guns. The "chosen few" that are still allowed to carry have probably been chosen as bodyguards..lol

Good luck..sorry to make light of your situation. Just trying to lighten the mood.

When would you think someone should carry concealed in an office? How about at a beer distributor?

One post.

Two unrelated hotbutton issues.

Answered own question about office carry.

Don't feed the troll!

Rich_s My feelings exactly! Actually my employer has received death threats. Employees will most likely be the first potential victims, being his office is not in the foyer!!

If you value your job, leave your sidearm locked up (unloaded) inside your vehicle while you are at work.

What feelings, exactly, that you are a troll?

Please surrender your username, it is apparently unwarranted. Then view my first digital signature at bottom of this or any of my posts and note that being an "outlaw" at times extremely warranted...

VERY POOR TASTE response. IF the employees at the Beer Distributor's we're Armed he would have been STOPPED a LOT SOONER!!!!!!!

Carry in the office?

First: who will know if you are carrying concealed?

Second: The inevitable result of the slow-but-steady ban firearms here, then there, will be either 1) in practical terms, a ban everywhere; or 2) honest citizens carrying illegally.

I live in Nevada, close to the California border. I travel into California frequently. It is nearly impossible to legally carry in CA without violating some county or city firearms law.

I'm faced with the choice of leaving my firearm, and my ability to defend myself, at home; OR to carry, in violation of the laws. What are the odds that I will be discovered carrying? Little to none.

Which choice do you believe I've made?

I'm sure you've made the completely legal one, and that's your story and you're sticking to it lol

It is supposed to be concealed!!

If you don't like the new policy, and you don't feel safe,,,,move on. Some folks don't understand, a person armed in the office can save multi-lives, if some kook goes on a tirade,, people don't think it'll happen to them, until it's too late.. You are the defense a lot of other people are depending on. You have to follow the rules, but you go to an enviornment, where the rules suit you.

Solid feedback. My main concern is not fear of losing a job or moving to a new one, it's strictly constitutional. No where does the second amendment state that anyone has the right to infringe an individuals right to self preservation... Which is the first law of nature.

Sounds like things might have worked out better if a few of the gruntled employees had been packing.
