I work for a company with a no-gun rule. I do not mind being prohibited from carrying within the buildings, so I do not carry. Each building requires badge-access, and the qualifications to work here are stringent. That does not mean that intelligent people don't go crazy some times. It just means that I feel safe from outsiders coming in off the street.
The rule states that guns are not allowed on any of the company's property. It means that you are not allowed to lock your gun inside a safe and inside your car's trunk while you are parked at work. I have a problem with that. Right now, my gun is locked in my trunk, in my car, which I can see all day long. I brought it with me, against company policy, because I am going shooting at the range right after work. What if I lived 1 hour from work, and/or I had to drive through a bad neighborhood to get here?
Aside from occassional speeding, I follow the law. That's one reason I feel suitable to be one of the people who carries concealed. I also follow my company's policies, or I try to; I like my job. I know many will respond and say that it's not a big deal as long as you are never caught. While I may agree with you, in part, therre is still some risk and I still have a problem with this rule.
What would you do?
