AND any company that prevents it's LICENSED employees from LEGALLY carrying a firearm probably isn't worth working for.
I'm not trying to bust your balls but if in a bad position (something that the OP has clearly laid out - "shady areas at midnight") would you rather have your trusty side arm or throw a company policy manual at your assailants? AND any company that prevents it's LICENSED employees from LEGALLY carrying a firearm probably isn't worth working for.
I'm sorry, I had to leave the sidearm locked in the car today and I felt neekid all day.
If I was in the OP's position, I'd carry.
Not to highjack, but someone mentioned locking in the car while at work. I ran into this yesterday while making some unexpected stops with clients that I didnt want to risk exsposure.
Legally, (not with regard to wisdom) is locked in the cab of a pickup acceptable, as opposed to in the trunk of a car. I've been looking at that Fort Knox safe that would fit into truck console for just such occasions.
I'm sure I could search and maybe find something, figured I'd throw it out there.
With respect to pocket carry, I don't know how well that would work, given that my Blackberry prints and it is smaller than a .22 auto.

I'm not saying I wouldn't. I'm saying check company policy and go from there. He may find it's OK.
Just get a pocket holster. The PM9 is meant for pocket carry.I work for a company where they provide a service van, i tried carrying my PM9 at work for a few weeks but, i felt like the customers could see it as i worked on they're equiptment(my shirt would come up over my waist and expose it).,
I've heard there's case law that shows that locked in a trunk of a car that has fold down rear seats that don't lock is not acceptable so in the cab of a pickup would also be a no go.
It's kind of encouraged in this office.
defines weapons as any item that can be used or is intended to cause bodily harm
I carry to and from work, but not inside the main building. Firearms are specifically spelled out in our handbook unfortunately. Something to do with military contracts and such. So it gets locked up in the car during the day.

I worked in an office in the accounting department. I just pocket carried a S&W 442 in a pair of Dockers and kept a speed strip with extra rounds in the other pocket. No one ever noticed. Even people who knew I carried didn't know where it was or what my method of carry was.
Does anyone work/carry in a *private* university? Federal law prohibits firearms in or near schools, but does it refer to only public schools or all schools?
Been there. Thunderware (a/k/a Smartcarry) was the answer.in an office with a lot of other people. I wear a shirt and tie, and move around a lot, attend meetings, etc. It is very difficult to carry in this environment, and I absolutely don't want to get spotted.
That's a really crappy attitude. How often do you get patted down?all employees are subject to search any time they are on company property.
