Carrying in the workplace

[MARINE DIVISION TWO]

My former employer had a No Weapons Policy. I carried off and on through the years. I was present when a friend of mine had a knife pulled on him and thought it prudent to arm myself for a spell until things got sorted. Another was when it was revealed one of my co-workers had a hit list and I was one of the names on it. I was asked to watch a guy's back for a few days, one of his buddies told him he was going to kill him.

The last five years before my retirement I carried daily. I was prepared to tell anyone that asked about the bulge was that it was an insulin pump.

A Pennsylvania law enforcement officer, trying to carry in the People's republik of New Jersey. That's what I mean.

On duty, not a problem. Off duty, LEOSA covers it. Including "hollow points". But they did manage to make PA LE limited to 10 rounds because LEOSA never foresaw that coming. That's being worked on.

Nice move I see what you did there

I work for a fairly large company and here is the section from the employee handbook concerning weapons at work....

"You must report any instance of violence, hostile behavior or brandishing of weapons on Company property to your supervisor or Human Resources immediately. Firearms are not permitted on Company property, except where expressly permitted by law. In cases of imminent danger, you should call 911 or local law enforcement first, and then the General Counsel, Human Resources, or your manager. Supervisors are expected to inform the VP of Human Resources or the General Counsel no later than 24-hours after any reports or act or threat of violence, even if the situation has been addressed and resolved."

I'd say that's a cooking cutter policy for almost any office.... I do love this part though.... "except where expressly permitted by law" Huh?

Some states have "parking lot laws" where employers are forced to tolerate the lawful possession of weapons inside of employees' vehicles, usually with state imposed conditions like in a locked container, etc. Some states have decent fines attached for having policies inconsistent with the law, even if they've never actively penalized anyone.

Washington County doesn't issue same day?

Could be like Allegheny County, a two-step process. First step, submit the application. If approved, the county sends a card that one must take to the Sheriff's office along with $20 and necessary ID's. You leave with the LCTF.

Allegheny County switched to an in person same day process a few years ago.
