No, it's telling him not to carry an "unauthorized [...] dangerous or illegal firearm". Ignoring the issue of who gives the authorization (because I'll bet the manual gives that information elsewhere), the quoted section does not comment on carrying safe & legal firearms (probably because whoever wrote it never conceived of such a thing).JP171 wrote:The policy is telling you to NOT carry a weapon period
Would I carry there? Dunno. It depends, in part, on how well I could conceal my gun, but mostly on how safe the area is and how much I'm liked by the people in charge of enforcing such policies. At my current company, we disregard certain policies all day long -- even some of the "insta-fire" ones -- because we know that they're stupid rules written by people who don't know what they're talking about. All the relevant bosses know about it and in most cases endorse it, so we feel pretty safe about breaking those particular rules. Carrying a gun is a funny one though. Even if the rulebook wording leaves it a bit of a grey area, you might get fired, rather than warned, just because people can be so jumpy.
