unfortunately the courts have upheld that companies can make a policy like this and hold you to it.

recently they just agreed that companies can make and enforce a policy that prevents employees from leaving a firearm in their car during work.

IMO, id does infringe on your rights...

but unfortunately, the courts side with the employer.

Now, that is, IMO, where the "Conceled" part comes in. If no one knows you are carrying... then it should never be an issue. but that is at your own risk.

No, they can't override the law, but they can fire you for any reason or no reason.

Correct! IANAL, but carry concealed means just that. If you are in fear of your life an work in some crappy locations, you have to realize that you will be fired if anyone knows you carry or you use it in self-defense.

Anyhow, this is Massachusetts, and it is a struggle each day not to have any of the sheepole see an imprint here and there...

CCW is mandatory in my office, although I don't enforce it.

John, got four words for you: "Don't ask, don't tell".

Yes, you'll get fired if you get caught. But they can't arrest you and you'll be alive to find another job...

I work in a wasteland of liberal ideology and only one other person knows I carry. There's nothing forbidding it in the policy handbook and even if there were, I'd carry anyway - my life is not worth a job, (or lack).

Ditto. What do you do? Are you hiring?

Well, I manage 250M sq ft of commercial rental spaces. I CCW daily in the office, my employer is my hunting buddy, the gal who does the books has no prblem with guns. If you have to work for a living, and you are a gunnie, it don't get no better than this. Sorry, not hiring at the moment, but if I were, NRA and GOAL membership would be a requirement.
