So, I started my new job on Monday and as soon as I could, I got a copy of the employee manual (Called the “Best Practices” guide.) I flipped to the Security section and was speed reading to the find the dreaded words “Weapons not allowed on the premises.”
Geeze.:frown:
Now I came in to work that day with my gun locked under the back seat of my Jeep.
Tuesday I decided to leave it home because the lock under the back seat is a cable lock, and the air conditioning is not working on these 90+ degrees days. (For a 10 minute commute, that hot box is hard to take, so I leave the windows down, and just don’t want to leave so little between any thief and my “precious.”) I felt naked all day. Like a bad dream. :embarassed:
Today, I am taken by my coworker and trainer (A fine young woman) to meet one of the engineers I will be working closely with. As the conversation is winding down he asks her “been to the range lately?”
OMG!!!
She said “No, I’m still thinking about that .357 though. I just don’t know if I like the re-coil. I still shoot my Walther though.” :hand10:
I don’t remember much else about today at work, except that we (about a dozen people in the office) will spend a (typical) extended lunch at the Cherry Creek Range this coming Monday. :banana:
I did ask about that Weapons policy in the Best Practices manual, and they said “It says THAT?” “The CEO brought in his NEW .50 cal a few weeks back and left it in the meeting room for anybody to come by and admire.” “I wouldn’t worry about that manual.” :image035:
Now I will pay attention to “that manual,” because the head of HR is known to not like guns. :scruntiny:
Nuff said. :35:
I’m getting the AC fixed ASAP, and ordering a gun safe to bolt down under the seat. :yup:
Did I tell anybody, I LOVE MY NEW JOB!!? :urla9ub: (What Gun issues?)
Oh yah, several CCW’s there too.
I told one coworker about this forum. (I’ll tell the rest tomorrow. I just hope I can keep my mind on my job now.):danceban: :danceban:
