My son has a ''no guns'' policy at work tho I don't think he had to sign anything.

They do however, and very small bonus I guess, permit guns to be kept in cars on the lot - which is real close to building.

However, it will be for him to decide whether or not he does carry in. I just hate it tho when folks are so restricted.

MY job they don't allow guns in the building but I don't want to leave it in my car either so I put my gun in my backpack while at work. They don't search through things so I don't worry about it .But once I leave the bulilding the gun goes back on me.merlin45kout

Thanx guys for all the support. I do carry when i feel comfortable, such as when owner isn't around. Usually i'm by myself but this week he (owner) has stayed in a room here for whatever reason. I'm pretty good friends with him, too, and have been thinkin' about just setting down with him and explaining things to get his word on things. He is a very bright man (Phd: dentist, county commissioner, car wash owner, storage units, and now adding restaurant nearby). My point is he isn't an idiot and if i had to guess HE packs daily. Conservative Republican, you know the type. Anyway, the waiver was signed before he bought the businness, so he may be more lenient. Sorry to ramble, but trying to fill you in on history. He traets everyone here with the upmost respect and courtesy. And to be honest. there are some folks here even I wouldn't want handling a firearm. Me? I'm not around any other employees except to do shift change. We have been robbed 4 times in ten years. Not me personally, as they havn't tried in the last 4 yrs or so. But, yeah, i carry about 3 out of five nights, especially on weekends, just so much to consider these days. Thanx again for the advice and support. After all, I can't sell any rooms if i'm dead, right?

Oh, and yes, i'm pretty good buddies with the night shift police srgt. who also is the cities canine handler. He, unlike some of them, does a greta job and comes here anytime i ask for him to. He helps me, i help him. Period. So, i'm not worried as much as i may sound, just i have always been on guard every since that first fire watch at Parris Island. HEEhee. I'm a good citizen and don't want that to change just because i have good sense. Wow, what a country.

Do you practice archery during the evening hours? If not, maybe you could take up the sport, utilizing a crossbow if it's legal for you to own one in Ohio.
Those 175Lb draw weight Barnett Commandos work REALLY WELL.

This is the deep concealment I have been using for over a year now. I'm 5'-11" 190 lbs. 95% of the time I forget I'm even carrying and it's no mouse gun...Kimber Compact CDP in .45 with a backup mag.

I can sit for hours...walk for hours...I even will occasionally take a nap in the recliner...all with no discomfort. I love the deep concealment. I tried the IWB and OWB and couldn't stand having to always be aware of how I move or reached or bent over etc.

And after practice, it takes me about two seconds to draw and aquire sight picture. I have worn this set up to the lake in nothing but my swimsuit (no swimming...only barbequing) no shirt and nobody knew a thing.

The only printing is a little bulge by your strong side pocket (from the grip) but nobody goes around staring at the front of your pants...it's too awkward for them! If I'm standing in front of someone who's sitting I simply hook my thumb in my front pocket and my hand covers the bulge.

They now have one with an extra security pouch in the rear where I carry my emergency $.

Edited to add...I carry all day-every day.

Yep. I used it when it was still Thunderwear. They've solld a bunch of 'em, so I know my experience is subjective. I suppose if some folks wear it long enough, theyl get used to it. I just never could, and that's why I was so pumped to find the kangaroo-type setup.

Best,
Jon.

Jitmo,

Big Jon has a good idea with the Kangaroo carry...SmartCarry works well for me with Docker style pants. IWB holster works well also if you work alone and can wear appropriate clothing. I also have a "soft" briefcase in which I carry many items that print in an odd fashion (wall chargers, books, etc.). I have never been searched or questioned so far...hope you find a solution that works for you.

I use one of these http://pagerpal.gunserver.com/
and find it comfortable and easy to conceal.
As for talking with the owner, that will let the cat out of the bag so to speak and then they might get suspicous and or start actively enforsing the policy. You have to consider what you will do if he asks "Do you now or have you carried a gun while at work"?
Some say it is better to ask forgiveness than permission since once denied permission it is tough to ask for forgiveness.

Bud White · December 28th, 2005, 07:24 PM

The Kangaroo looks intersting but my problem is laying on the floor for my job .. easyer to lay on the gun on your hip than taking it in the Ribs for me anyways..

I carry a Tuckable Desantis right now

sojourner · December 28th, 2005, 09:52 PM

How about an AZ-Sig-Rig
home made.

I've thought about setting one up. It has a back support band can be explained away pretty easily. Sore back.

I work mostly out of my house and when i go into an office it is the Peoples Republic of New Jersey.
