OOPS.....
AAAHHHH.... Ok I must have slipped up today at some point. I know I was helping several people at there desks and bent over a few times but I'm super careful to make sure I don't print/show.
So here is what happened....
About 30 mins or so I stepped out to the break room to get a soda. I was walking back to my desk when the girl that sits behind me comes up to me and whispers "Just so you know someone saw your gun today". That caught me a little off guard and without thinking I asked "who". Normally I'd just deny it. Well, she would not tell me just wanted me to know. Then are conversation went like this:
Me: that person is not freak'n out are they?
Her: umm.. that person is a little uncomfortable...
Me: ok well, let that person know that I normally leave it in the truck but was running late from running errands at lunch so I just left it on. And if that person doesn't know I'm all legal
Her: do u think I should mention it? or leave it alone?
Me: well, if you let me know who it is I'd like to talk to them. Just explain everything maybe put there mind at ease
Her: ok
Me: So who was it?
Her: I dunno.. will let u know
Me: ok
Her: that person seems cool
I really think it’s her. Almost everyone else in the group is very gun friendly and must own a firearm. Oh did I mention this was the same person that thought my wallpaper picture of my Kimber was graphic!?!?!
She was checking ya out, then got a very unplesant surprise!From what you described, it sounds like she's the one. Kind of the "my friend".... type scenarios.
Hope she doesn't go run off and tell anyone, and if she does, I sure hope that your company policy doesn't forbid it.

I had the same thing happen to me once when I worked in a corporate type setting of an office. The policy was hazy at best but the Boss was somewhat of a "I see nothing" kind of guy who was a gun owner, but there was a lib in the office who was "offended" by guns. I ended up keeping it low key. I went to a smaller pocket carry 38 snubby or a Wather PPK 380, and kept the 1911 in my briefcase. I bought a concealed carry briefcase with a hidden draw pocket, just for the occassion. Keeping your gun a secret is a full time job when you work somewhere everyday. Sometimes you have to lower the profile to "comply" with the atmosphere at work.
I was so pissed off by the gull of this video teaching my coworkers to be victims that I sent an email to my boss! In it, I spelled out how that same scenerio would have played out if our company policy didn't require us to be victims. I was factual and professional but refused to let my company off the hook on this one.
He never replied to my email and the last time I saw him, his one line response was, "what do you want me to do with that email"? I told him to make it so I can be armed with more than a prayer and a cell phone should something like this happen at our office. He only smirked and said, "ain't gonna happen".
Seems to me, that if you aren't supposed to be carrying at work, you should either not carry, find another job, or be prepared to accept the consequences if it suddenly became public knowledge that you were carrying.
Integrity is non-negotiable.
yep very true! I have a few other options. . I may just start carrying my P3AT on my ankle. I just feel much more comfortable with my Kimber! Maybe I'll carry the XD in my day planner.
First rule of a Gunfight, Bring a Gun!
Always Carry...
