So I lost my job yesterday and I went to Maricopa Workforce Connections in Gilbert this morning and I got all excited because I thought they had a bar based on the sign.
Turns out they don't.
I asked the armed security guard what he would do if I was carrying and he said he would take my gun. I said "no you wouldn't. Do you have secure storage?" He said they don't. I then asked if they served alcohol and he said no. I explained the sign was in error and he said I should bring it up to the director.
After I went outside I took a picture and he practically ran out to question me, then said he would bring it up to the director. Other than his momentary panic he was professional and polite, however, I wasn't carrying.
I think we need to organize an open carry even at that location this week. I never thought I'd say that in AZ.
ETA You are welcome to use their services even if you are employed so you can still have a legitimate reason to be there while carrying. I never said carrying at a place where a prospective employer might be is a good idea.
