No, when you are at work, you are subject to the rules of your workplace. They are paying you so that you will do as instructed. If you don’t like it, start your own business.

[piytar]

I do. Even though my boss can be a real jerk, he let’s me.

PS I work for myself...

[Red Badger]

only if you are the owner, or the owner doesn’t mind you doing so.....

While I respect my employers rule against firearms (which I think is stupid) I do like the pending Texas state legistration to prevent them from disallowing firearms in the parking garage or lots. In effect that disarms me all week, going to and coming home from work, and anywhere inbetween I decide to go.
I'd like to be able to carry to work and lock the weapon up in the vehicle (our parking is in a garage and is pretty safe).

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Should folks with CCW permits be allowed to carry their weapons at work?

I carry at ALL times, even in church!

[SampleMan]

That’s up to the employer. Your right to carry doesn’t trump your employer’s property rights.

[Tolsti2]

They should be required to post the same signs as any private business in Texas. A specific thing that bans it, publically and openly. Let them stand behind it, not hide it in some fine print.

Ultimately, you should be able to carry anywhere without restriction.

[OneWingedShark]

Far better question:
Should people who own firearms be allowed to take them to work REGARDLESS of whether they have a CCW permit or not?

[mylife]

I carry 2 knives at work everyday.

What is it about the words private property that is so hard to understand. The SCOTUS doesn't understand them but I would hope conservatives do.

[bvw]

Yes they should, just like cops do. Cops are not that statistically different than the rest of the population.

Corporate policy for the outfit I worked expressly prohibited any firearms on premises.
Was a 24/7 oilfield outfit where you were going and coming to the shop (kind of isolated location with millions of dollars of equipment) at all hours of the night to work sometimes by yourself or headed off to a well location usually in a swamp or woods.
Even the manager carried so did us peons.
We couldn't afford the 24 hour rent-a-cops that corporate HQ had :^)

I voted yes. My dad once worked in a rough part of town in Knoxville and got off at midnight. He started carrying in the late 1970’s as did several others. Back in the late 80’s I worked at a Bread Box convenience store as a night clerk. Dern straight I carried against company policy as did all others that worked that store. While I would not have defended the store I would have defended my life had it been necessary.

You don’t lose your right to vote, or to free speech, depending on where you work. Why should you lose your right to self defense?
