that's a place I wouldnt' feel comfortable working.... especially if it's open to the public. if it's a locked secure building that requires gate passes and requires scanned badges to enter I wouldnt feel so bad....

I'll do you one better, I work for a city utility that must allow C/C and open carry, but as an employee, I cannot! In other words, any Joe LTC can walk right into my office with his gun, but I'm not allowed to! We can keep in our vehicle which is in a secured lot.

sue for wrongful termination.

In Texas, the employer doesn't have to give a reason for termination.

oh yeah. i forgot about that... thats a pretty awful law... employer: "i dont like the way you laugh. you're fired"

My take is that unless the employer officially gives notice either during the hiring interview or employee handbook/materials provided when hired that carrying is prohibited it is perfectly allowable to carry concealed at work. Nobody is going to know anyway since it's concealed. YMMV.

When I ran my own tiny company (11 on staff, as I recall), I never thought to mention guns. Or set limits oxygen consumption while on the job. It just never occurred to me.

Now, my son and I run a small operation. Hmmm... I guess I could tell him his Glock isn't welcome. Oh, wait, not a problem. He's a good lad, he carries a 1911. Silly me.
