I think that most major corporations bad weapons by employees if for no other reason to appease the lawyers and avoid any lawsuits.
You got it.
...multi-state/nation corporations probably sink down to the lowest common denominator as far as policies.
You got it again!
I am self-employed, but I do carry to all of my clients homes and places of business, and have had no complaints. A few have asked questions but did not seem to be concerned with the firearm.
Sounds like the OC home nurse I've seen in various pictures! Her patients don't mind either.
I'm in the Army, and we're only allowed to carry in hostile lands.
Isn't that a real nasty slap in the face? I think so. As a vet I was called upon to travel around the world, risking my life in all sorts of situations. I was often armed, but not always. Hell, I was entrusted with nuclear weapons delivery (
to the target, not some weapons depot), and yet I cannot be entrusted with a self-defense firearm on a military installation? What more can they do - piss on my grave in Arlington after I die?
Except MP's who by the way did a great job responding to the shooting at Fort Bliss, TX.
Yes they did! I have the utmost respect for MPs (in the AF it's LE). While riding to work, one of them took out a deranged perp at the Fairchild AFB hospital in 1994.
I have to go with what HR says unless my Legal department says different, and my legal department is based out of California, so you can guess what they will say
:banghead: No doubt. Remind me never to lend my many talents to any company based in California.
I work at a hospital and policy was no firearms on the propery. I/we still did in our vehicles. I would be happy to get fired if they did not want me to bring it again. July 1st Ind Law states we may now have a firearm in a locked vehicle at work. Yea Gov Daniels!
Cool! We need more laws like this!
They still have a no firearm policy at the door for the public.
I encountered the same when I went to the hospital ER on Sunday for a scratched cornea, though anticipating a no-firearms policy I wasn't carrying. Turns out they have a full bag search and walk-through metal detector. They did ask if I was carry any firearms, and I said, "Almost always. But not today." I then asked what their policy was on OC vs CC, and the security guard pointed to several lockable, wall-mounted gun-boxes and said, "We'd simply ask you to leave it in your vehicle, or in here, and we'd give you the key." I said, "Ok! If you're willing to accept full security throughout the hospital..." but then I had a thought and asked him, "Will you be there to protect me on the inside if some nut grabs a scalpel or simply starts beating myself and others with his fists?" He gave me a thoughtful look, so I added, "Hey - if you're going to disarm people at the door, you have follow through with the same or better measure of self-protection throughout the grounds. Can you do that? Or do you just disarm people at the door?"
His response, "I hear what you're saying, but I'm just security. I can't comment on company policy."
Sounds to me like this situation is ripe for a lawsuit. If Obamacare requires me to go to a particular hospital, but I am refused medical treatment until I forfeit my 2nd Amendment rights...
my employer loves guns, all of them. He lets me carry anytime I want to, I walk around the office with my AR-15 ( Ruger-SR-556 ) ALL the time. ..........................ok, I am self employed. lol
Same here! And I work from home, as well. So yes, my "employer" is firearms friendly. :banana:
