For the first two months that I had my CHL, I worked for an employer who had a written no-guns policy. When I got that job - 1 week after getting my CHL - I had been out of work for 3-1/2 months, and I had a family to take care of. I love my family more than I love myself, and I will do whatever it takes, even if it means having to put up with insults to my own rights in the process in order to keep a roof over their heads, food on the table, and clothes on their backs.

During the 3-1/2 months that I was out of work, I had a severance package, so our financial picture was not totally bleak. But, it did take longer than I had hoped for to find a job in my area of expertise, at a salary I could afford to accept, and I took the job at this "no guns" company (at a lower salary than I could afford) when the severance money began to run out.

Fortunately, my boss fired me two months later for which I sincerely thanked him (we were both unhappy with the arrangement), and two weeks after that I started my own business. My business has a guns friendly policy, and I encourage anybody who might need my services to be armed when we meet... ...because I sure as heck will be.
