Yes, I work security at a nuclear facility.

I haven't gotten a CHL yet, so if I don't have a lot of cash on me or am not going into a bad part of town, I sometimes leave my weapon at home. That's about to change though.

I own a small business, so my truck is technically my office. My dad owns a business and carries all the time after death threats from an ex-employee.

I have carried a gun into all sorts of places. I've found that a day planner works great. You can set it on your desk or a table at a restaurant. No one pays it any mind, usually. I would be careful if you have to check in through security at your job. I have had my dayplanner searched before in that situation. Luckily, it was only a day planner and no gun. If you need something very concealable then I recommend a North American Arms .22 I have two of them and can hide them really well.

I'm a teacher...I think they string you up for that or tar and feather you or something. At any rate, no.

I used to teach GED classes at a community college, to kids who had been kicked out of area high schools. I didn't give a damn about policy. I carried anyway.

yes I do but no it's not allowed by co. rules. I know I'll get flamed by someone but that is my personal choice and I'm willing to live with the consequensis.

I said yes it's allowed because technically they don't say anything about it because we don't have an employee manual of any sort. The company I work for got bought out a few years ago by a 60 year old company that has even less organization than our little company did.

I work in an establishment that serves alcohol by the glass, and we do make more than 50% of our income from the sale of alcohol. So here in Michigan it is illegal for our patrons to carry weapons in the bar, however since I have my CPL I am permitted to carry it at work

However I usually do not carry while I am working.

I have a CCW but right now I don't have anything that I believe is small/comfortable enough to take to the office. Besides..(note the user name) I am not sure if I am comfortable with it there.
