Exactly.

The last place I worked did NOT used to care etc......then they did. Not even allowed in car on the way to the range.

The irony in my case, same as him - it all started with the active shooter training. A bunch of knew the best way to stop an active shooter, but still.

Several years ago worked as SR Mgmt for an Aerospace organization and was well known within the local & other state level organizational entities as the individual to discuss firearms, techniques, ad nauseam. Yes, there was/is a Corp policy of no firearms at work.

Then an employee rumor surfaced the want-a-be 'acting' HR lady, who was a distractor, bragged she was going to call local LE/SO authorities to have my vehicle searched w/or w/o my blessing, for firearms in the company parking lot sometime in the next couple of days.

Local VP was a fan of the HR lady so that avenue wouldn't be approachable...had a telcon w/SR VP at Corp HQs was receptive to my plight of a possible illegal search and seizure and ensuing ramifications from me and shortly there after the acting HR lady approached and not so gently chastised me for my telcon...I looked at her and gently reminded her she was only 'acting' and that I heard rumors she would be returning to her original HR clerk position.

Ya know, she never said another word but a positive side, myself and other employees parked on the street!!

Don't break rules and laws you aren't willing to face the consequences of.

I'm sure that was the mantra of racist employers in the Jim Crow south. Rules about blacks using white fountains and bathrooms and schools. Evil/unconstitutional rules deserve to be broken and must be.

Don't stand on the wrong side of history.

"e. Pursuant to Section 4 of this issuance, DoD personnel may request permission to carry a

the performance of official duties or duty status."

Yeah, don't see that happening.

Was training National Guard Soldiers in Utah very recently. Surprisingly, many were armed with personal weapons while in uniform. The weather was very warm and when they removed their blouses, everyone was open carrying like it was no big deal at all. The training was nothing that involved anything tactical or even closely related. Carrying personal weapons was National Guard approved. These guys were not going to risk anything and most were senior NCO's.

Whatever you do...just dont leave you piece in the shitter. I had to deal with that as a supervisor, one of my guys forgot his, word had spread before it got to me, so i had to bring in HR. You should have seen the look on her face when i'm like "hey someone left this in the shitter, it is cleared and empty, but i dont know who's it is"

I wouldnt have turned it in if i knew who it was and a half a dozen people didnt already know.

The employee got an HR ass chewing and the company clarified their policy, ofcourse i objected and told them they should allow open carry instead.
