Re: Is it worth it, with all these restrictions?

The truth is that CC is allowed in many more places than it is disallowed. The supermarket, the restaurant, etc, etc.....

Your particular circumstances may dictate more restrictions, but overall, I find it very easy to carry all day, every day, with the exception of work (when it stays in my car.) If I ride my motorcycle to work, I don't carry because the saddle bags are lockable, but more easily broken into and I can't access it there anyway while riding. I do carry when riding anywhere else, though. On the very few (and I mean VERY few) occasions I have met with a legal posting at an entrance, making the walk back to my car is not a problem. Odds are I will go elsewhere to spend my money. If that is not an option, I discreetly disarm, conduct my business and discreetly rearm when returning to the vehicle.

In other words, its really not a problem for me. You are kind of stuck with the work situation, and from your description that would be the case whether or not you commuted by car, helicopter or submarine. Its their policy. Their ballfield, their rules.

Do yourself a favor, as you conduct your daily business, keep an eye out for signs at places you frequent. I think you'll be surprised at just how few are posted or limited by statute. Personally I would not call ahead to them, as this may put ideas in someone's head. Most businesses simply don't realize that people carry in their establishments. That is good for us. Why put a bug in their ear? Let the ol' sleeping dog remain comfortably on the porch.....

Familiarize yourself with the statutes found on the DPS website and you'll be fine.
