This is pretty much the boat that I'm in. My company has it in the handbook for looks alone. I got my LTC-A while I was employed here, and the CIO took the class with me (he's from the socialist city of Salem, MA, so he was unable to get his unrestricted
). More recently, my CTO took his class and received his LTC-A. Almost no one I work with knows that there are some who carry (I'm sure some people suspect it, because our enthusiasm for firearms isn't exactly a big secret, but no one openly talks about it). However, anybody who can actually do anything about it does know, and they see it in a positive light. I'm very fortunate for this.
As an aside, it's funny that we have one of these threads today. I saw this blog post in some newsletter that I'm subscribed to at work (not sure how or why I'm subscribed):

It's the kind of feel-good "you can do it!" moonbattery that makes you want to carry a gun at work.
I tried posting something:
And this is what I got from the blogger:
So let's say there are 100 million people at work every day. That means you've got a 0.0002% chance of being murdered at work every year. That's statistically insignificant. So only a stupid person (meaning somebody who can't understand basic math) would bother to carry a gun to the office for protection.
Go figure.
