...I've heard the attention span goes first...

...you could, but that would nail you for sure...and expose your friend, your manager, to company ire and attention...I would stop talking about it at work completely, and read Texas PC 30.06 carefully and completely...if you have not been given the notice within, you're legal to carry concealed and only risking your job if discovered...if you have been given the notice within, I would advise you to follow the law...

...any further discussion at work can only result in your being given notice...the company's position seems clear and the manager/coworkers WILL value their jobs more than they do yours...
