I wouldn't ask ,and I wouldn't tell.

These people don't know you from Adam, and you're going to ask if you can bring a gun to work ???

If I was looking, it wouldn't matter to me. Most of the companies I could work for don't allow CCW anyway. With today's economy I wouldn't pass up too many job offers.

I'm not looking, so for me this is academic.

I agree with the tenor of most of the posters. Worry about the job, then read and understand the employee handbook. In this economy I don't think that a person can be super choosy. Maybe take the job that frowns on CC and then keep looking for something better to come along?

I would assume all companies have a no weapons allowed. In my past 25yrs, they all had them

Of course, you should always read any rules or contract carefully.

Exactly. Read the rules. Although a company can change their rules,you can also use company policy in your favor.

Hush Hush.

You will come across as being a highly abnormal and priority skewed individual to the majority of job interviewers if you even ask about that on a job interview.
You might as well not even go to the interview if you plan on asking that.
Unless you're applying for a job at Colt, SIG, Glock or a gun shop.
Just my personal opinion on that.

That's even worse than asking "How many cigarette breaks am I allowed to take per day."

Check to see if my Florida CCW was good.
If not, check Handgunlaw.us and/or Pack-N-Go Carry Concealed Trip Planner to determine the situation.
If the location is a People's Republic, see if I could live in an ajoining state that was better (if New Jersey, how close is it to Pennsylvania).

I would wait, read the handbook, then ask, IF I ask at all.

ditto for me

I am looking, I don't ask (or care) know what your local laws are

The oil company my sister works for had all of their employees get their permits. She carries a Springfield 9mm.
