Like I said above, just carry concealed. How in the world are they going to know your carrying? What's more, how are any employees working at any of the stores going to know your carrying while shopping with your wife and kids. I'm not advocating carrying while you are actually on the clock, so to speak. But I know I would. Unless your crossing a metal detector or doing a job that may create a situation where the gun may fall out, there is almost no concievable way of them knowing. Now if you send a letter to them concerning your desires, I think you will draw attention and force them to terminate you. Heck, maybe the rule is in place to protect them from liability in case you bust a cap in a customer. Many company policies are in place for this very reason. I am thinking it is comparable to don't ask-don't tell.bkjunk wrote:No I am not a VP and I don't work in the stores, but I make a good living. My main problem is not with their "on the clock" policy. My issue is that according to our "off the clock" policy, if I go grocery shopping at one of our stores technically I cant carry or leave it in the car. However my Wife, who is not an employee would be allowed to carry. The policy has been in place since Texas passed the CHL law. I would like to elegantly suggest they revisit the policy, but I am not sure it will get me anywhere and I am worried I would then be labeled some kind of problem employee who needs to find another job.
Whats the status on this parking lot bill? Last time I looked it did not look like it was going anywhere. Maybe if it passed, this whole discussion would be unnecessary. Anyway thanks for all the feedback.

Re: Cant carry at the gocery store
You have no way of knowing what I know or don't know. Relax...grab a chair..take it easy. I will give ya hint at how I knew he wasn't the VP. The VP wouldn't be online asking about sending a letter to the corporate offices.3dfxMM wrote:You have no way of knowing how well his job pays nor what sort of status he enjoys because of it. He specifically stated that he works for the grocer but not in any of the stores. For all you know he is a VP making pretty good money.would be a grocery store job???? There are many...and I mean many jobs out there that would be an increase in both pay and status.

Re: Cant carry at the gocery store
LOL...I love all the extravagant schemes, but in real life, not any of this is going to happen. Maybe some perspective is in order. This would be a grocery store job???? There are many...and I mean many jobs out there that would be an increase in both pay and status. Just make a decision on whether or not you are willing to risk getting fired, and make your choice based on that. Like I said, all this silliness and fantasizing about setting up your employer is fun...but doesn't apply in real life.
Heck...they may decide to fire you tomorrow or the next day anyway. One never knows. THERE IS A REASON THEY CALL IT CONCEALED CARRY. This means nobody knows you have it. If the need for them to know you have it arises, you won't be worrying about your job, you will be concerned about staying alive.

Re: Cant carry at the gocery store
I don't think I would write them a letter about it either. They are not likely to change their policy, but it could draw unwanted attention to yourself. I would just carry "CONCEALED" as I always do and not tell them I have a "CONCEALED" hand gun. It is "CONCEALED" after all. How would they know you have it?
