If anything goes down at work, at least you know whose desk you can run to, to put your hands on a Glock!! :-)
SIA
offer to carry spare ammo/mags you can toss him since you are unsure that he's as good a shot as you ... 
I'm wondering about the boss, keeping in a drawer rather than on body carry; whether boss has a CHL or is carrying under the Sec. 46.02.

"Hey, bossboss, boss is always talking about how he carries guns to work and keeps a Glock in his desk. If I have a concealed carry permit, I assume it's OK for me to do this as well as long as nobody ever sees it and it remains concealed. I'm looking out for the safety of all of us! Thanks, bossboss."
See how that goes.
You could get permission.
You could get refused and see your boss lose permission.
You could get refused and see your boss lose permissions and subsequently have it out for you.
You could get refused and see your boss get fired.
You could get fired.
You could get fired and see your boss get fired.
You could see your boss get fired and see yourself in the the boss' chair, with or without permission for your own case.
Is this an example of the "Loose Lips sink Ships" saying?C-dub wrote:apostate wrote: There may be nothing in written policy but it sounds like you received oral notice.

I have a sneaky suspicion that's how things work at my company. In our hand book there is something like "LEO in the course of their duty or with written permission," but they say that no one can bring a gun inside. So, IDK
