(950 posts)I know you didn't ask this but carrying at work is an entirely different situation than off the clock. for one thing at work I don't just carry a gun I have:
The Gun
2 magazines
A radio (AKA the brick)
OC spray
and a pair of handcuffs that I will never, ever,ever,ever, unless specifically directed to do so by a sworn Colorado Law Enforcement Officer (AKA a real cop)ever.
I rarely have to deal with the client's employees and never with the client's customers but the few times that I do have to deal with them I am very careful to never to put my hand even near let alone on the gun so the client employees have no reason to believe I'm attempting to intimidate them.
I have been working for this company for going on 5 years and have never drawn my handgun and it's generally assumed that if I ever do I will be terminated immediately regardless of justification.
All of the above gives me ,I assume, a slightly different perspective on carrying a gun than your average carrier
