You enter an area where you stand out like a sore thumb - into a Hasidic Jew community, or a Mennonite community, or an all-seniors community and you’re a young person, or vice versa.

If I enter into this area and I stand out like a sore thumb…why am I there? There must be some business whether personal or professional that took me there. I don’t just…go there. What ever business took me there is my response. It will make perfect sense…if…they have sense? In your scenario…does this work or am I now going to be threatened?

I’ve carried by accident but two things. #1. I respect private property enough to abide by their rules and we have security guards at the front, though admittedly I doubt they would be effective against a shooter. #2. The risk in our office I think is very low.

I guess it’s not worth my job in my head to not carry, though some there actually do carry. I’d guess most cars have a gun in that parking lot.

Did you jumble this up with this instance where the two guys who posted a confrontation with a customer on social media?

CNBC – 21 May 20

Drivers fired after posting video of confrontation with FedEx customer

"We just apologized but he kept escalating the situation," one of the drivers said.

The person in scenario 1 shouldn’t be carrying a firearm regardless of their ability to pass a background check.

The person in scenario 1 shouldn’t be carrying a firearm regardless of their ability to pass a background check.

But given the real world track record of concealed carry permitees, scenario #1 is extremely unlikely. It is a unrealistic hypothetical presented in an attempt to make a biased political point.

It’s not “concealed and carry”.

I conceal my firearm and carry it every day. Conceal and carry!

Guess I’m in that 10-20%… I carry everywhere except my office and only because I like my job and they have a 30.06 sign up.

I’d suspect it would be higher than that if people were honest. My wife carries in her purse always and she’d be the last one I’d expect to carry if I only knew her a little.

I have a sister who carries in her purse as well.

“Carry”, “Open Carry”, “Concealed Carry”, “Conceal and Carry”.

Same here but then it’s part of my profession.

NRA, USCCA, and several other advocacy groups have done extensive polling on the subject and those who carry constantly are a very small minority.

As for your work situation that comes up in classes, seminars, online discussions pretty frequently. As a rule the advice is “concealed means concealed”. If you are at any sort of elevated risk at work the worst they could do is fire you and have you trespassed off the property unless it’s a school, hospital, PO etc.

Great advice. Go get fired.

Fired is better than dead.

Ask any convenience store clerk who had to use deadly force to defend himself while at work.

Corporate doesn’t give a crap about the worker, just the liability.

How do you know that every corporate head office does not give a crap sbouf the worker. I work in a corporate head office and we very much give a crap about every worker.

Mostly it’s about insurance. It costs them less if you get killed or wounded than if you kill or wound a perp.

WildRose · 2020-05-30T19:22:09.107Z

The key word is “concealed”.

Remember the psychiatrist a few years ago who had to defend himself from an armed, crazed patient?

He’d been carrying for years and nobody had a clue.

You can always find another job but knife and bullet wounds are permanent.

That is the worst way a woman can carry.

If she’s going to purse carry she really should look at getting a purse specifically made for carry with cut proof straps and a dedicated weapons pocket with a proper built in holster.

How do you figure that out? If I get shot and killed at work then how is my family suing my employer any less of a liability???

They have no duty to protect you.

Nemesis · 2020-05-30T19:44:45.925Z

WildRose:

They have no duty to protect you.

They have a duty to provide a safe workplace.

But that aside no employer has less liability for an employee who is killed at work as someone who is committing a crime on their premises.
