Firearms are strictly prohibited anywhere on the property here at work so I leave my carry at home,I use to just leave it locked in my glove box but a guy got fired last year for that {no clue as to how they found out} I just dont want to chance it.
well tonight on my way to work I had an experience that got me thinking.
I stopped to get some gas and as I was at the pump a brother and his white counter part where standing at the door tryin to look ghetto fab,wel they kept lookin over at me and talking back and forth then all of the sudden they both come runnin at me which freaked me out enough that I had my hand on my belt knife,turned out all they wanted was to see if they could bum a smoke from me,when I said no they asked if I would give them some money to buy a pack which I said no to as well,they called me an ******* then walked off. I started thinking..what if they wanted to TAKE my money instead of just asking for some like they did and what if they had pulled a gun and I standing there with a knife..yeah Ima thinkin the out come would be grim for myself... I mean this is why we carry,to protect ourselves but how can we protect ourselves if we have to leave our weapon at home?
my 3rd shift crew is small{3 people} and we have things on the property that would be considered huge targets for theft..mainly chemicals and certain gases used in the medical and industrial fields. we have been "trained" on what to do incase someone decided to get ballsy which consists of running into a certain room and calling 911
now for the question...
what could I say to the owner of the company that would convince him to let me CC at work?
I am pretty good friends with the owners son {we shoot together quit a bit} the CEO is a gun owner and when I say gun owner I dont just mean he owns a gun I mean he is obsessed with guns,is a retired marine and also does a bit of gunsmithing from his home. the plant manager is also a gun owner along with most everyone in the office so this company is no where near anti-gun.
Im sure the only reason for the "no firearms" rule is so he can cover his ass incase something happens. is there anything I can do or say that will make him think it would be a good idea for me to carry here? I thought about telling him Im willing to take some sort of class on my dime. I just dont want to say the wrong thing which would make is difficult for me to ever bring the topic up again to him. any advice?
