Re: Carrying at the workplace
If you absolutely have to leave it in the car, then remove the barrel and carry that in your pocket. at least then if your jammie gets nicked, the firearm will be Unserviceable.

Re: Carrying at the workplace
+1. A "no-gun" zone is about as gun free as a gun shop. I'm sure companies put this crap up for insurance purposes. If they want it weapon free, the need access control at entrances, metal detectors etc. Otherwise, what is it really worth, other than to irritate me and make criminals grin?

Re: Carrying at the workplace
If you can't get a gun into an access controlled area you aren't trying very hard.

Re: Carrying at the workplace
When I worked at a major bank's headquarters I had an arrangement with the security manager that I could attempt to smuggle in weapons at any time.
They had metal detectors, xray scanners, individual access controlled cubicles and security everywhere. I managed to bring in an array of handguns, a practice grenade, a smoke grenade and my crowning glory, a pump-action shotgun

Re: Carrying at the workplace
I'm all for good security... and if I ever come across it I'll be certain to go shake the security manager by the hand.
Latest was at Montecasino where they do the whole individual wanding thing... except if you enter through the hotel in the north eastern quadrant (which has ABSOLUTELY NO SECURITY AT ALL) whereafter you can wander through the entire complex viewing the 'excellent door security' from the inside!
Apparently would-be robbers are smarter than most security managers. They do this for a living dammit!
They need to understand that by disarming me they are implicitly taking over full responsibility for my safety. This has consequences."Always remember to pillage before you burn"

Re: Carrying at the workplace
We with draw large sums of money each day, my girl friends mom went into Nedbank everyday with a baby browning in her handbag for 6 months. The only time the bank noted it when she forgot to put it in her handbag and it was in the back pocket of her jeans. The bank manager told her, that the whole bank has 23 cameras, but only 3 was working, there metal detectors wasn’t even working.
He just told her to put it in her handbag next time she comes in again!

Re: Carrying at the workplace
Yeah I agree with that. A gun owner agreeing to a gun free zone.. that is not progress. If you feel safer unarmed then I can't imagine why you have a gun. And as for leaving your gun in a car, well, that is something that you are going to find damn hard to defend in court, no matter what security you think your building has.

Re: Carrying at the workplace
I regularly go into the bank armed with my usual edc and have not been pinged even once. Iwas stopped and had to put my gun in safe storage at the italian embassy and once at multichoice. If I'd tried hard enough I probably could have gotten past multichoice, but the embassy would have been tricky.
