Guns at work

[nsheepdog]

Are any of you taking advantage of the new legislation to bring your firearm with you to work and leave it in your vehicle?

I think it was a step in the right direction, but I don't actually like the idea of leaving my firearm in my vehicle, so I pretty much leave my firearm in the safe Mon-Friday, unless I go run an errand after work. I am thinking about bringing my pistol with me and leaving it in the vehicle, but I wanted to get an idea of your thoughts as well.

I have had my vehicle broken into twice in my life. Both times were in public parking lots and it seemed to be random, considering I never leave valuables in plain sight. However, neither case was at work.

What are your thoughts?

Buy one of these and mount it in your trunk or under a seat (this might be more difficult)

I have one like this, used as a concealed cache. Onece it's mounted, it can't be removed unless it is opened. So unless your car is jacked, your firearm will be there even if your stereo isn't.

When you post yea or nay, be sure to include your vehicle's year, make, and model, and the address of your worktime parking location.

It's a blue BMW, 80's model, presently at Diamond Collision. Oh yeah, look for the INGO sticker.

Generally no, but.... we have a secure parking lot, and I don't really worry about it. I normally don't carry on work days, but if doing something after work, I will carry (may or may not leave in truck). I'm a government employee in a contractor's facility; while they have a no firearms policy, I 'CC' and don't really worry aobut it. -- Greg

School, work, or govt. office

So, it seems to me most people pretty much don't carry to/from/at work or leave the firearm in the vehicle.

I think we are more likely to find ourselves in a perilous situation at work, at school, or in a government office, all of which you cannot legally possess a firearm. Although I am glad that our Constitutional rights have been acknowledged, more needs to be done.

I have a lock box secured in my vehicle. Yes, I have one in it whenever I am driving my vehicle. I only remove it if I am loaning the car to my teenager.
I do not carry at work, policy not friendly toward it.

 

[Homebrew]

I could, but I don't. I can never leave anything in my soft-top Jeep. Unless it's raining or below 50 degrees, the top is usually off anyways.

 

[japartridge]

I always have a firearm either on me or in the vehicle.... get a lock-box, secure it, and be done with it.

Like Mike, if I have to come in after hours for server room, or IDF room work I CC... of course since less than a mile from my work an innocent pizza delivery driver was murdered; that may change....

As to after work, as soon as I get to my car, I put on my holster and gun, or if the PF9 is what I have, it get's belt-clipped to my seat belt for the drive home.

 

[nsheepdog]

Awesome, a lock box seems like the way to go for now.

 

[rimfire_crazed]

Work policy still prohibits. meh.

Got my Glock on as I type here at work!!!! Nice family owned business and no one says a word. Nope, I'm not part of the "family". Just a worker.

Can't take to the bus lot, but I can take to my other job and carry inside

 

[CindyE]

I do, mainly because i leave for work when it is still dark.

That's a shame Uncle Mitch left you out. You guys have some situations where one would come in handy once in a while (in certain districts ofcourse)

depends on your job if you can carry at work or not? what if your a window cleaner is it more of a job policy or is it illegal to carry while working period?
