Re: How Concealed do You have to be at work?

Texas state agencies follow the law and, with some exceptions, do not prohibit lawful carrying of firearms. Their employee handbooks/manuals have sections something like "Starting Jan. 1, employees with Concealed Handgun Licenses will be able to bring their weapons to work, concealed
or properly holstered in accordance with state law. The policy ensures the --- agencies treatment of their employees
will be in line with Senate Bill 273, which prohibits state agencies from posting signs banning handguns from their
premises and House Bill 910, which allows Texans with CHLs to openly carry holstered handguns.
The new policy will give --- employees the same rights under the law as all Texans."

My wife works for TRS. She prefers to carry concealed. When I visit her at work, I carry openly. Neither of us have had any issues with either the employees or the security people.

I work at a state agency, but my employer is a contractor. The agency says their employees can carry openly or concealed. My employer's policy is no weapons on "company property." But I am not working on company property. So, for me, the situation dictates that I carry my weapon totally concealed. I carry my three spare magazines openly, but detach my pistol in its Safariland 7TS ALS holster from it QLS mount on my belt and conceal it. When I leave the building, I return to carrying openly.
