Agreed, sounds like it. I understood that this was about a job to get through college.

I work in the utility industry and if there is anyone I work with who wouldn't applaud this guy, including the hiring supervisors, I've never heard them say anything that would so indicate. Most of the people who do the grunt work, and most of the technicians and engineers, are conservatives or libertarians, and gun owners. Many of them have CHL's. I have photos of guns posted in my office and one of my female coworkers asked for a copy of one of them. I don't even know of an employee in the building, male or female, who is anti-gun. In fact, I've never heard an anti-gun sentiment expressed by anyone I work with. My company provided a free CHL course for employees. I'm sure a guy like this Marine would have no problem being hired in this industry.
From what I saw in this thread, he's trying to go to college. So why would he want to work where people don't think like he does, because he needs a job. He needs to eat and pay rent. With the economy like it is, jobs are tight. If he's going to school, he needs a job that can accomodate a class schedule. Turning down a job like this on principle sounds good until you are hungry and it's rent time. I don't know about others but when I've been in job interviews, i don't ask the interviewer to tell me how he/she feels about guns, use of deadly force etc. If i find the work place to be hostile to me, i would likely start looking for a better place to work, while I'm drawing a paycheck.
