I imagine that does wonders for communication. And meetings probably stay more focused, everyone is more polite, and disputes are settled swiftly. I think you're on to something here. "Magnum Management." I can just imagine the motivational posters! It would breath new life into Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People!" Marc

The folks there appear to be a very pro-gun group of folks - it seems like a good number of people brings guns to work (leaving them in their cars of course). The work looks real interesting, too. :)

Apparently so. Actually, the guy was Indian, so he probably wasn't armed. :)

Probably Nevada or Montana if I were to guess. I know the state I am in is pretty gun friendly. The problem is convincing the girlfriend to let me drop $5k for a 0.50 rifle.
What you are aiming for, Barret? In New Jersey you need a gun permit for a slingshot (no joke – it’s a law).

I am actually looking at the Barrett M98B 338 Lapua. But when I recently picked up my 12ga, the store had a Bushmaster 50 there for the same price. Here I need a permit for supressors and automatics. Getting a permit involves getting the county Sheriff's approval (which involves a few checks into your background) and paying your $200 lisence fee for each item. CCW is a seperate permit that isn't nearly as hard to get.

Of the nine people in our section, me and one other guy had guns. At the new job, I'd say it's closer to 50% have guns.

"Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997That few, in Texas? You mean have guns or bring them in their car? My old office probably had a 50% gun ownership rate, but they were headquartered in Iowa, my office before that had a few very animate gun owners (my boss's boss kept a stack of blank FOID applications on his desk, FOIDS are required to buy guns or ammo in IL).

What state are you in? A few weeks back my brother had the chance to buy an AR-30 in 338 for under $1k, but didn't. I didn't have the cash either.
