What's ridiculous about exercising your rights? Oh, wait... You're in Canada. You have no rights.

Amazing, did you ever had to use it?
Not yet, and I hope I never have to. However, it is ill-advised to think I wouldn't use it simply because I don't *want* to use it.

On Monday, they posted signs at most of the entry/exit points to the office declaring that we can't carry weapons on company property. This morning, two police officers were posted at the elevator, and they searched everybody for weapons. I got here before the cops, so they haven't searched me yet - grin. My NRA belt buckle may give me away...

Tomorrow, show up to work wearing only your NRA belt and buckle and explain that you are carrying a concealed weapon. Then see whether they want to search you. :)

what about using the gun when you don't need to use it. dunno man, Being from Lebanon, I have seen lots of people with guns, 100% of the time they are idiots with a brain of a peanut. So I usually associate civilians with guns to idiots... not that I mean you are in any way.

Society doesn't matter, people are dangerous no matter where you live. Its like life insurance.

Official figures released on Thursday revealed there were more than 22,000 serious offences in England and Wales involving knives in 2007-8 Depends on your definition of unnecessary, I suppose.

i like how you include the word "civilian" implying that a state endorsed gun carrier is somehow more intelligent....

my lock-back knife
Pre-911: Airport security would simply measure my knife, see that the blade is only 3" long, and hand it back. Post-911: Airport security said I couldn't carry my 1.5" non-locking knife on board... after I was airborne I realized that I had forgotten that the 3" lock-back was still in my pocket!
i was on the plane digging for one of USB flash drives and found a lighter... it went through the bag scanner.

i work on a campus. this topic comes up a lot. it would sure be nice to be able to defend myself from the insane guy packing heat on campus.

Carring a weapon on a college campus is a felony. The best defense in the world is to know where the trouble is, and be someplace else.

"...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001We've got the interesting situation here in Florida that the state legislature has just passed a law stating that it is legal to have a loaded gun in your car while at work. Disney, claiming they are exempt from this law (which DOES have provisions included that allow employers to be exempt), has just fired an employee who has a valid concealed weapons permit for refusing to allow his car to be searched after stating publicly that he was going to bring a gun in his car to his employee parking.

I totally agree with what you said...not sure why your post was voted 1 :confused:

No, I don't feel compelled to carry a gun to work. I feel compelled to carry a gun, period.

we just leave our firearms in our cars.
Isn't that a bit risky? My last employer that had a gun free policy had a check-in gun safe downstairs.
Lots of people here have rifles in their pickups here. They keep them during hunting season in case they see something. I worked at a place that had a no firearms policy. Someone went hunting over the weekend and left the gun in the truck. He almost got fired.
