Work carry
Besides LEO
Who else carries at work? And is it CC only or OC as well? I can CC at my work but can't OC

Re: Work carry
Always CC at work.
God and the soldier we adore,
In times of danger, not before.
The danger gone, the trouble righted,
God's forgotten, the soldier slighted.

Re: Work carry
I'm banned. Not legally, but by strict policy. But we do have armed security, and my workplace is not accessible to the public, so that lessens the risk until I can get to my vehicle in the parking garage.
Re: Work carry
I CC everyday, altho parts of the building are off limits and I cannot go to them.
Re: Work carry
Everyday. CC. I could OC but I choose not to.

Re: Work carry
My company posted in their employee handbook that firearms were prohibited on company property. It's a good thing I work from home over 90% of the time.

Re: Work carry
But then they can fire you for carrying at home 'cause of like "right to work" or "open shop" or something....Flightmare wrote:My company posted in their employee handbook that firearms were prohibited on company property. It's a good thing I work from home over 90% of the time.

Re: Work carry
I'm curious - is the verbiage in the handbook the exact 30.06/30.07 verbiage?Flightmare wrote:My company posted in their employee handbook that firearms were prohibited on company property

Re: Work carry
I didn't think they had to post 30.06/30.07 signage to prevent carry at work by employees. They just had to say no firearms and post a no guns sign at the door. Did that change?

Re: Work carry
It is not the exact 30.06/30.07 verbiage. However they could terminate my employment. I've kinda grown accustomed to eating food. Plus, their paychecks help me fund my hobby.mloamiller wrote:I'm curious - is the verbiage in the handbook the exact 30.06/30.07 verbiage?Flightmare wrote:My company posted in their employee handbook that firearms were prohibited on company property

Don't confuse the legal right to fire someone with criminal trespass.tenke56 wrote:I didn't think they had to post 30.06/30.07 signage to prevent carry at work by employees. They just had to say no firearms and post a no guns sign at the door. Did that change?
For work carry to rise to the level of criminal trespass the wording of a written notification must follow the verbiage described under PC 30.06/30.07. In a written document, the 1" letter element doesn't apply.
That has nothing to do with the right to fire or sanction an employee for any reason, including carrying a gun or having bad breath.
So the distinction is between job loss or potential legal fines.

Re: Work carry
I work for a city public utility, so any one of you can carry CC or open-carry into my office, but I cannot because it's in the employee directives that I will be fired for it. (Counting down the days, months and few years until retirement)

Re: Work carry
I CC at work. We have 30.06/30.07 signs on all entrances, but last year I managed to get an amendment written into our company policy that allows CC only by employees. We have to request permission from senior management, provide a copy of our license, and keep it strictly confidential. No one knows who is carrying. The privilege can be revoked at any time.
And yes, I keep a copy of the signed permission form in my desk, and in my truck.
