Well, the reason DH kidnaps my Taurus Slim so often is that the thick butt of his M&P 9 shows too badly under the light clothing appropriate to a NC Piedmont summer.

You forgot "in a small town". Rural is just 5 minutes down the road, but I'm on a 1/2 acre surrounded by other homes.

As the saying goes, "Price, quality, or service. Pick two." Every element has a price. Service costs money. Quality costs money. You can have top quality and extraordinary service but you will have to pay for it. Top-notch, knowledgeable service people don't work for free. The more...

So, the answer is no, you're not going to actually address my reasons. I do not believe that I have a moral obligation to obey silly, dangerous rules made by people who have proven that they have little, if any, regard for my well-being. In a factory of the type I work in there are multiple...

I'm still waiting for anyone who is arguing against my positions to actually address any of the reasons that I posted. I'm especially interested in how you will manage to get around the fact that my workplace has already suffered a violent episode -- resulting in ICU time for the victim --...

What part of my explanation that the company I work for ROUTINELY violates OSHA rules did you fail to understand? I said nothing about companies in general, just about my personal experience with the specific factory I work in. If I could just run out and get another job that payed a...

You could try responding to what I actually said. As for "honor", ... Let's try some Kipling here, ... ... Man, a bear in most relations — worm and savage otherwise, — Man propounds negotiations, Man accepts the compromise. Very rarely will he squarely push the logic of a fact To...

I would not be so idiotic as to attempt to determine my employee's choices of underwear (assuming it was not visible). A concealed gun is on the same level. It stays inside one's clothes, concealed. It has no impact on the company image as a uniform would. It does not create a workplace...

I did so in my original post. If you're going to continue to condemn my practices please do me the courtesy of responding to my reasons. For your convenience, I quote said post:

That's how I see it. Had I been on shift and aware of the altercation that I referenced earlier I hope that I would have had the quickness and courage to have shot the guy who was in the process of beating the supervisor to death -- interrupted short of fatality only because the police...

And if the employer changes the rule on you what then? My employer went from no policy at all to "no weapons" after I'd been working there for over a year. I didn't agree to anything. Am I supposed to put my family on food stamps to suit your sense of honor?

Its misguided because its ineffective. As I said in my original post, the company "no weapons" policy didn't prevent a guy who was mad about being fired from picking up a piece of pipe (pipe, metal bars, assorted tools, pieces of 2x4, and razor-sharp blades are commonplace items in our...

I never gave anyone my word in this matter. I am under no illusions that my employer gives 2 cents about my welfare beyond the barest minimum of OSHA requirements and I know from experience that they will violate those standards any time they think they can get away with it -- which is...

I don't drive. All states offer non-driver ID cards for a nominal fee.

When I was hired my employer had no policy about weapons. Somewhat over a year later the factory's owners adopted a "no weapons" policy. Which is absolutely ridiculous since we have multiple objects within arms reach than can be used as improvised weapons and use things such as box cutters and...
