Everyday. I don't tell and no one has asked. Been carrying a full-size pistol and extra magazines everyday at work for almost 3 years and no one has ever given me a second look. I work around some extreme liberals who would faint if they knew. Concealed means concealed as they say.

Well, I used to carry every day at work. But then I took this position and my current employer does not allow anyone with weapons at work except for the peace officer she commissions. And yes, the policy is worded that way.

Every night.......it has been said the view is cool as long as you get your chl. I would still carry with a no gun policy. I can replace my job. I can't replace my daughters (3) dad should something happen.

I do not because of what my job requires for me to be able to do. Impossible to go one day and it not get uncovered. However, it gets left in my truck. We have no mention of guns at all in our handbook

I carry every day - at work - since I am a self employed dog trainer - guns kinda go with the job anyway - I recently got my CHL application completed and when I get it in hand - I will carry whenever and where ever legal - I already carry a tactical knife every day

All of my employees are required to have a CHL and to carry on the job before they can work for me. That would be me, and my spousal unit. :mrgreen:

Not unless I'm able to work from home. The company I work for has policies prohibiting weapons and makes sure to post any and all company properties.

At work. At home. At the movie theater. Carry everywhere. If I'm wearing pants, I have a gun on the belt or in a pocket. Well...except for jury duty.

I work at a university and since nothing violent ever happens at schools I am not allowed to carry at work. Instead I employ a "trip and run TM" policy where I plan to trip people around me so I can run away faster than they do.

Yep, 24/7. My boss keeps a pistol gripped 12ga. on the side of his desk, so if it were to come to light, I don't think it would be a big deal.
