    Question Do you open carry at work?

    So I was checking out THIS POLL and I have a question for the 28 people that answered yes to:
    I OC all the time.
    I OC most of the time.

    Or anyone else for that matter that primarily open carries:

    Do you carry at work?

    If so, do you work from home?
    What does your employer think about it?

    If not, do you carry concealed at work?

    Not wanting to start a debate, this is NOT about OC vs. CC, simply asking a question that I was thinking of after looking at the poll. Most of the time I'm at work and have to conceal as my company has a stupid "No Weapons" policy that I choose to ignore based on certain facets of my job, as I spend 40 hours + concealing I find it easier to conceal most of the time except for when I'm instructing on the range, or at any establishment that serves alcohol (Look at the location, I am in VIRGINIA, not PA) as I don't have to change modes of dress or gear.

    I'm confused by this poll.

    You say it is for the 28 people that already voted they carry OC all the time. But then you ask if they OC at work?

    I'm not one of those 28 people so I didnt vote. I'm assuming that they either do not work (not one of you or Q's), they are allowed or they are self imployed.

    Again, not understanding the poll and who is supposed to vote >>>?

    Anyone can vote, I guess I should have worded that a little better....

    I went and fixed it...

    Since I'm now working for myself - I OC when I'm out and about.

    My job has two parts, so sometimes I CC and sometimes OC.

    If I'm in the office, I'm Concealed, though not very well - I wear fairly tight fitting polo shirts, and when I untuck and pull it over my OWB holstered gun it prints very badly - though no one has noticed it

    When I'm on the road, I'm OC all the way.

    It is prohibited by policy in every hospital that I've ever worked in, and is an immediate termination, so I leave it in my vehicle.

    I run my own business, and am a one man operation, so I OC at work. I OC in my shop and I OC out in the field, which is a literal field on my own property when I am processing material. I OC to most of my suppliers. Actually, I think I OC to all my suppliers. I will CC on occasion if I am concerned as to what the reaction of certain customers might be. For example, I had two students today - I teach for part of my living - from the Workers Paradise of Maryland. So today was CC. If I have to go to a customer's home, I will usually CC just to avoid problems. But most of the time it is OC.
