Re: tell or not to tell

The problem with work is that things change, unexpectedly and outside your control. I've been in a couple of work situations where everyone was agreeable, met socially outside work, etc. Then upper management did the old shuffle and the new boss was a martinet or had favored toadies. A couple of them tried to can me and would have done it with any excuse.

The more personal information they know about you, the more it can lead to bias. It could be your religion, your political persuasion, your hobbies, just about anything.

I get paid to work because no one will do it for fun, and I pick the people I have fun with outside of work.

Actually, I have never said whether, what, when, where, or how I might or might not carry anything.

I have made my "any gun anywhere" position clear on numerous occasions, including letters to the editor in the local newspaper; but maybe it's just rhetoric. Who knows for sure?

If the subjects of CHL, self-defense, or firearms come up in conversation, I will talk about them in a general way, but never with reference to myself.
