i am going to go to packing.org to read up on louisiana law. i think my boss knows i carry even at work ( in my purse) and honestly i think he understands why and agrees.(crazy ex husband that likes to beat women. and yes i have all the no contact orders) its his bosses that have a problem. i told them up front if i go i would be armed and if they had a problem they needed to find someone else to go. they asked a couple of people but thats it. so off i go to research.

Cin:

I just pulled up both the Florida and its link to the Louisiana site. Yup, Florida and La reciprocate. Carry and be safe.

Actually, depending on the company and their regulations, they can. It would be a stretch for them to do it and they would have to catch you doing it which it is kind of improbable.

Employers may prohibit employees from carrying dangerous weapons while in company owned buildings or working within the scope of their job. Behind this policy, you will generally find an insurance issue. Some companies have fired employes for having guns in their personal vehicles on company parking lots, but those cases are being fought in court. Bottom line: the company's insurance carrier doesn't want them to be sued in civil court by the heirs of a BG you shot. The result is that companies don't feel their employee's lives are as important as their ledger. If you feel that you can replace your job if you have been fired because you had to preserve your life, then carry by all means, but keep that information on a "need to know" basis.

Gardner - ''but keep that information on a "need to know" basis.'' -

I think the ''no need to know'' is the best!

Concealed - is - concealed!

i guess the best way to solve the problem is to buy her a g26. that way if something happens(god forbid) she'll lose her gun and not mine.

gunthorp · September 27th, 2005, 10:17 PM

Exactly, Chris.

Too bad her company can't spring for machine toting security guards. Or at least one glock carring other half

well problem solved. i don't have to take hubbys because i just bought my own g26. that way i don't have to explain to him what might have happened! good enough reason to get one... "hubby i don't wanna take yours because it might get confiscated so i bought my own." think he will buy that?

"hubby i don't wanna take yours because it might get confiscated so i bought my own." - think he will buy that?

Yep, That will work...even when my wife tells me a real whopper & I don't quite "buy it" - I usually just pretend to buy it.

They can SAY anything they want. Would it hold up in a lawsuit?
