I have been passing out resumes like candy this week and carrying the whole time and while doing so, this topic came to mind. I have a couple of leads, both of which are "mom & pop" type machine/T&D shops, if employed by one of them should I:
well the employers in question here are a tool & die shop in a rural community sitting next to (even sharing the same driveway with) the owners home and a small machine shop ( one mill, one lathe, one grinder etc) setup in the delivery area of an old business and located less than a mile from where a classmate was attacked and robbed in broad daylight. Neither of the owners seemed like the type that would frown on it although the subject never went that direction.
If it were a large company like toyota ( if they had a facility near here) or martinrea it wouldnt be a question. My main concern is approaching an employer as a new employee about the subject since I would still be a "stranger" of sorts and I'm already kinda weird anyway
I did forget to mension earlier that I see exactly where the boss or employer is coming from about not wanting firearms on there property and yes if you do not choose to abide by the rules there are consequences that you will pay for but one point I would
like to stress is that it's an individual thing if you feel comfortable and confident enough about doing it without them knowing then go ahead. But what I stand for and what I would do is two different things. 1 I do believe it's your responsibility to keep it covered and I do believe it's your right to carry if needed but personally if my employer specifically said no I would abide by his rules just to be respectful. Does anyone agree with that.
My boss said it was cool to take some meat off of the heatshield for my shotgun using the stuff in the shop but I ended up taking the whole critter to work because the only hex wrenches I had that fit the heatshield were in my toolbox...at work. He just wanted to fondle my shotgun, he couldnt have cared less about me having it there. I think carrying is going to be fine with him since the shop is in a bad neighborhood. So far I love working for a company that consists of 3 employees (including the owner).
