Just like some company's will not hire you if they know you smoke cigarettes.
I haven't run into that that I know of yet. I do know that my company makes it very difficult for us smokers.

One observation is that when a company is small thier policies on everything from guns to smoking are usually more relaxed. The more the company grows, the stricter the policies can get.

When I started my job there were only 200 employees. Things were a lot looser. As we grew that changed. things that were tolorated 2 years ago are grounds for instant, no questions asked escort you off the grounds termination today.

While we were small more than half of the employees were shooters. Now that we have over 700 people including an office in New Jersey that percentage has drastically dropped.

At both points in our history firearms on property was instant termination.

Sounds nice on the outside, but I do see some complications that could arise.

Since some companies have such strict anti gun policies, this might have the effect of causing someone to not be hired for a job that they ordinarily may have been hired. I can see where thet employer might see the CHL and automatically think, "Oh no, he/she carried a gun we don't want to take on that liability" We all know how some get scared at the mere thought of a gun.

I personally know two people at my company that have been fired for just talking about guns. The company "didn't want the liability.":evil:

I don't get people. :evil:

The convenience of what you propose would be very nice. Probably in a world where others are less frightend of of objects it could work.

It also makes too much dang sense, and we just can't have that! :cry:
