There are people on this and other forums who obviously shouldn't be allowed anywhere near firearms. In fact nothing has pushed me more towards believing more gun control might be a good thing than internet gun forums. However, since you can't control such people, don't let them get to you. Worry about yourself and let them be who they choose. After all, they can't help it.
Now ,if the situation ever arose were an Armed Gun Man came into your Employment, and began shooting poeple, and you Interveined and stopped the BG from killing anyone else.
I think the Employer would be Greatful, and as long as it was an good shoot, chances are you will not be charged.
Let's rephrase that based on some of the news reports...
The employees who were saved would be grateful and may even pursue being lawfully armed citizens themselves. The employer on the other hand would probably fire you for violating some 'policy.'
Examples are the pizza delivery guys who got terminated after defending themselves, the pharmacy guy that told the employer about safety at night-then got fired after he defended himself.
Sometimes I am goaded to answer but mostly I try to ignore and focus on the comments that give me information to make me a more experienced and learned firearm owner and CC person. Try it and it makes life easier on this forum.
Most of them are teens who have never fired a gun - steel or flesh.

Remember there's a difference. I work for a company that has a no weapons policy. SCREW THAT! There not going to protect me. Pissing of my company isn't illegal. If they ever did find out then that means S has HTF! Carrying where actually unlawful is a different story.
I agree 100 % if you are going to carry with a permit, remember permits are issued to LAW ABIDING CITIZENS..... If you are not permitted to carry in a certain place, DON'T, our just simply dont patronize that facility, it's rather simple.......
