Re: Proof Read - Letter to Employer

I understand that there is something like a 10% unemployment rate in this country. There will be no shortage of qualified applicants for the jobs recently vacated by those challenging their employers' positions on guns in, and around, the workplace.

I wish it wasn't so but as Walter Cronkite used to say as he closed his newscasts, "...and that's the way it is...".

To the original post good luck, I also work for a company that bans employee "unauthorized" carry of a weapon. Can't find out who or how you can get authorized so it goes in the trunk when I arrive and back in the IWB when I leave or before if I am the only one there after hours. I've already given my notice to these guys not because of that but other issues in the realm of archaic systems in place.

My wife works for a company that does allow for concealed carry and one of their guys dusted a dude that couldn't understand stop I have a gun while removing tools from their company trucks and continued over a fence toward him. My soon to be former employer has 5000+ employees hers has 150 my gut is to get back to a smaller locally based employer.
Thanks...I had already considered asking the editor if I can do a 2 parter, this cinches it for me. One of their reporters (when I asked them if they had considered doing a piece on CHL told me in clear language that she was not sympathetic, was against guns cuz her daddy was a deputy shot by an illegal because her daddy had left his gun home and was off duty. I reminded her THAT is what her kind wants to do to all of us. She said there is a whole book about her daddy http://www.booksurge.com/The-Gun-That-W ... 628178.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; That is very sad, but it illustrates the fact the illegals are going to get them even when otherwise doesn't.

...This letter is going back to HQ in California...
I suspect I know the response to your letter.

Once again, good luck and God Bless.

Re: Proof Read - Letter to Employer

Sounds like you've got another job lined up? This ain't a good time to be shakin' the bushes.

Seriously, isn't there someone in authority (not HR puppets) who may be sympathetic/open to your cause whom you can talk to about this? A letter is sorta' like a bell. Once rung, it can't be un-rung. If the letter must be written, the word you're looking for is "concise". Keep your letter brief, to the point and definitely not adversarial or confrontational.

The documentation/substantiation of your position can be presented during the interview after the letter gets read by someone with the authority to make decisions.

Good luck.
