    I don't want to know or care if you do carry (especially if you aren't allowed). But does your workplace have an official policy regarding CCW?

    We are forbidden here, there is a little sign over in our reception area.

    Not allowed. Part of our policy. Immediate termination. It has been this way for years.

    Officially, it is not allowed.

    But several guys have brought their rifles/pistols in the office. We are pretty confident that no one at our office will go off on us.

    At my base, on private property, we are allowed to have them.

    But in the squad with patients we may not. Medical direction does not allow it. State law however states we may carry if our medical direction did in fact allow it.

    No policy but I push people to carry whenever possible. There's a gun in my desk just in case, I work in the hood

    Zero tolerance. I sure as heck would if I could. Lots of violent crimes on our housing properties.

    As mentioned earlier, I cannot carry into the office, however it is in my car in the parking garage. I cannot have a weapon on company property, but my company does not own the garage I park in.

    Company has a no gun policy. I often only go to the office late at night for server maintanence. I am their alone and the interstate is less then 100 yards from the entrance as well as several hotels.... Getting a pink slip would be the least of my concerns if I am ever in a situation. I'll fight that battle in court...

    No rules against it at my job. When I'm locking up after dark I have one with me in North St. Louis for sure. :busted:
